Answer :

The value of x is 6.

Solution:

By Proportionality theorem,

If a parallel line to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.

[tex]$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} =\frac{x}{x+3}[/tex]

Do cross multiplication.

[tex]$\Rightarrow 2(x+3)=3x[/tex]

[tex]$\Rightarrow 2x+6=3x[/tex]

Divide by 2x on both sides of the equation.

⇒ 6 = x

x = 6

The value of x is 6.
