To find the value of x, we can set up an equation using the given information.
Since the line bisects one side of the triangle, we can set up the equation: 3x - 5 = (1/2) * 20
Simplifying the equation, we have: 3x - 5 = 10
Adding 5 to both sides, we get: 3x = 15
Dividing both sides by 3, we have: x = 5
Therefore, the value of x is 5.
