Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of large triangle: 4x and 15

Corresponding sides of small triangle: 3x + 1 and 12

[tex] \dfrac{4x}{15} = \dfrac{3x + 1}{12} [/tex]

[tex] 60 \times \dfrac{4x}{15} = 60 \times \dfrac{3x + 1}{12} [/tex]

[tex] 16x = 15x + 5 [/tex]

[tex] x = 5 [/tex]
