Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment parallel to the third side of the triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides, divides those sides proportionally, that is

[tex]\frac{2x-5}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{28-8}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{8}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

8(3x - 5) = 200 ← distribute left side

24x - 40 = 200 ( add 40 to both sides )

24x = 240 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = 10
