  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side bottom edge is marked as 30. The total bottom edge is marked as 45, so the right side length will be ...

  45 -30 = 15

The top (slanted) edge marked 10 is 1/3 the length of the corresponding bottom edge (30). Then x will be 1/3 of 15, or ...

  x = 5

If you like, you can write a proportion:

  total/long part = (10+x)/10 = 45/30

  30(10+x) = 45(10)

  10+x = 15 . . . . divide by 30

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . subtract 10
