  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector creates proportional segments:

  8x/(10x -2) = (5x +3)/(7x) . . . . left side segments have the same ratio as right side segments

  56x^2 = (10x -2)(5x +3) . . . . . multiply by 7x(10x -2)

  56x^2 = 50x^2 +20x -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x^2 -20x +6 = 0 . . . . . . . . . subtract the right side

  3x^2 -10x +3 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (3x -1)(x -3) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

Solutions are x = 1/3, x = 3

Check

For x = 1/3, side lengths are ...

  Left side: 8/3, 10/3 -2 = 4/3

  Right side: 5/3 +3 = 14/3, 7/3

  Triangle sides are 4/3, 22/3, 7/3. Short sides are too short to make a triangle This is an extraneous solution.

For x = 3, side lengths are ...

  Left side: 8·3 = 24, 10·3 -2 = 28

  Right side: 5·3 +3 = 18, 7·3 = 21

  Triangle sides are ... 28, 42, 21
