NEVERMIND, I THINK I CAN FIGURE IT OUT ON MY OWN
again nevermind i have no idea what im doing
well, you know that the small top triangle and the whole triangle are similar, so
(x-3)/(x + x-3) = 12/(12+16)
28(x-3) = 12(2x-3)
x = 12
Not sure what else you wanted to know ...
(x-3)/(x + x-3) = 12/(12+16)
28(x-3) = 12(2x-3)
x = 12
