Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Basic propotionality theorem: If a line is drawn paralle to one side of a triangle and intersect other two sides in distinct points, then the line segment divide the two linesin same ratio.
[tex]\sf \dfrac{LP}{PN}=\dfrac{LO}{OM}\\\\\dfrac{x+12}{5}=\dfrac{22}{8}\\\\\text{cross multiply,}\\\\[/tex]
8*(x + 12) = 22*5
8x + 8*12 = 110
8x + 96 = 110
8x = 110 - 96
8x = 14
x = 14/8
x = 1.75
