Check the picture below
if that red segment, GJ, is parallel to the AE base segment of the triangle, then, the segment GJ is the midsegment of the triangle, and by the side-splitter theorem, those two triangles are similar.
You need to divide the numerator divided by the denominator
Answer: x + 12 = 3x + -22
12 + x = 3x + -22
Reorder the terms:
12 + x = -22 + 3x
Solving
12 + x = -22 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
12 + x + -3x = -22 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x
12 + -2x = -22 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
12 + -2x = -22 + 0
12 + -2x = -22
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + -2x = -22 + -12
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + -2x = -22 + -12
-2x = -22 + -12
Combine like terms: -22 + -12 = -34
-2x = -34
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 17
Simplifying
x = 17
