there is an included angle on each triangle so if you look carefully there are two sides in which are given
Write an equation, calling the number x:
3x=2(x+4)
3x=2x+8
x=8
However, 8 is not a perfect square, which was required in the problem, so there are no solutions.
The answer will stay the same because you can't combine like terms.
Also I don't think it is Order of Ops because it doesn't have any exponets, etc.

There is a pattern. Each number is added by 5. So take 22 and add 5 to get 27. Just repeat until you find your answer, which would be 42.
