Question
The image presents a geometry problem where you are required to find the value of \( x \). 

It features a triangle with markings indicating congruent sides, suggesting it's an isosceles triangle. Two of the sides are of equal length, marked by single tick marks.

The lengths of the sides of the triangle are given as expressions involving \( x \):

- One side labeled \( 4x + 20 \).
- The other side with the same tick mark is labeled \( 3x \).

The two sides with the tick marks are equal, implying an equation can be set up to solve for \( x \):

\[ 4x + 20 = 3x \]

Solving this equation will provide the value of \( x \).
