Answer:

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached figure

Required

Find x

To find x, we make use of the following equivalent ratios:

[tex]LN : LO = NK:OJ[/tex]

This gives:

[tex](x-3) : (x - 4) = (x +2) : (x)[/tex]

Convert to fractions

[tex]\frac{x-3}{x-4} = \frac{x+2}{x}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]x(x-3) = (x-4)(x+2)[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]x^2-3x = x^2 -4x +2x - 8[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]x^2 - x^2-3x +4x -2x =- 8[/tex]

[tex]-3x +4x -2x =- 8[/tex]

[tex]-1x =- 8[/tex]

[tex]-x =- 8[/tex]

Multiply through by -1

[tex]-1 * -x =- 8*-1[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]
