Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture,

ΔABC and ΔADE are the similar triangles.

By the property of similar triangles,

Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{AC}{AE}

\frac{x+18}{x}=\frac{28}{(28-21)}

7(x + 18) = 28x

7x + 7×18 = 28x

28x - 7x = 126

21x = 126

x = \frac{126}{21}

x = 6

- draw xy axis, label them (ie., 1,2,3,4 along both axes)
- calculate the f(x) values for several x (e.g., -2, 0, 1, 3, doesn't matter).
- plot the calculated values as points. The calculated f(x) is your y value.
- sketch a smooth line through the points. It helps if you know in advance if the line is going to be straight or curved. 
- The more points you calculate, the more accurate your graph will be
