Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

the segment inside the triangle is an angle bisector and divides the side opposite the bisected angle into segments that are proportional to the other two sides, that is


(x)/(21-x) =
(25)/(10) ( cross- multiply )

10x = 25(21 - x)

10x = 525 - 25x ( add 25x to both sides )

35x = 525 ( divide both sides by 35 )

x = 15
