Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of the side splitter theorem is if a line intersects two sides of a triangle and is parallel to the third side of the triangle, it divides those two sides proportionally.  

What that means in this problem is that

x/18=9/54

Now, we just have to simplify that by cross multiplying

54x= 162

x=3
