If GF is parallel to AB....we have a theorem that says that a segment in a triangle drawn parallel to a base divides the sides proportionally
Specifically :
48 / 84 = 52 / [ 7x + 7]
4/7 = 52/ [7x + 7] cross-multiply
52 * 7 = 4 [ 7x + 7 ] simplify
364 = 4[ 7x + 7] divide both sides by 4
91 = 7x + 7 subtract 7 from both sides
84 = 7x divide both sides by 7
12 = x
