Given:

In triangle DEF, HG is parallel to DF.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

In triangles DEF and GEH,

\angle DE F\cong \angle GEH          (Common angle)

\angle EDF\cong \angle EGH          (Corresponding angle)

\Delta DE F\sim \Delta GEH             (By AA property of similarity)

We know that corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional.

\dfrac{DE}{GE}=\dfrac{DF}{GH}

\dfrac{9+(x+5)}{x+5}=\dfrac{12}{6}

\dfrac{x+14}{x+5}=2

x+14=2(x+5)

x+14=2x+10

Isolating variable terms, we get

x-2x=-14+10

-x=-4

x=4

Therefore, the value of x is equal to 4.
