To find the value of x, we can use the concept of similarity between triangles. Similar triangles have corresponding angles that are equal and corresponding sides that are proportional.

Looking at the two triangles, let's compare the corresponding sides AB and DE.

In triangle ABC, AB measures 16 units.
In triangle DEF, DE measures x units.

Since these triangles are similar, we can set up a proportion:

AB/DE = BC/EF

Plugging in the given values:
16/x = 22/12

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
16 * 12 = 22 * x
192 = 22x
x = 192/22
x ≈ 8.73

Therefore, the value of x is approximately 8.73.
