Answer:

x = 16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions and the triangle angle bisector theorem to solve this problem

20         30

------- = ----------

28-x          x

Using cross products

20x = 30(28-x)

Distribute

20x =840 - 30x

Add 30x to each  side

20x+30x = 840-30x+30x

50x = 840

Divide each side by 50x

50x/50 = 840/50

x =16.8
