You have a right triangle with an altitude to the hypotenuse. The second mean proportional theorem says that a leg is the geometric mean of its projection onto the hypotenuse and the hypotenuse.
(x+11)^2=x(x+23)
x^2+22x+121=x^2+23x
x=121

(x+11)^2=x(x+23)
x^2+22x+121=x^2+23x
x=121

Or if you like similar triangles directly:
adjacent/hypotenuse = adjacent/hypotenuse.
