We are going to solve this problem by similar triangles.
 We then have the following relationship:
 (5x + 2 + 16) / (16) = (12 + 24) / (12)
 Rewriting we have:
 (5x + 18) / (16) = (36) / (12)
 (5x + 18) = 3 * 16
 (5x + 18) = 48
 5x = 48-18
 5x = 30
 x = 30/5
 x = 6
 Answer:
 
The value of x using similarity of triangles is:
 
x = 6
