    Sine rule: 10/sin(3x) = 12/sin(2x), expanding sin(2x) and sin(3x) and solving a quadratic in cos(x) gives cos(x) = either 3/4 or -1/3, the latter being impossible since 2x needs to be less than 180 degrees. Hence cos(x) = 3/4 and sin(x) = √7/4. Area = 1/2 c a sin B = 1/2 * 10 * 12 * √7/4 = 15√7.

    Another way without trigonometry :
    Draw bisector of angle BAC, AD.
    In triangle ACD , angle DAC is x, angle ADC is 2x. So triangle ADC is similar with triangle BAC.
    Triangle ABD has angles BAD and ABD equal with x, so is isosceles, so AD is equal with BD.
    Lets say AC is y and BD is a. So AD is a also.
    BD + CD is 12, so CD= 12- a
    From similar triangles we have :
    AD/AB = AC/BC = CD/AC, so a/10 = y/12 = 12-a/y > a = 10y/12, and in second equation we have y/12 = (12- 10y/12)/y -> y^2 = 144 - 10y, so y = 8 the only positive solution.
    We have all the sides, 8,10,12, so with Heron formula s = (8+10+12)/2 = 15
    Aria = sqrt (15*7*5*3) = 15 sqrt7

    Another solution using trigonometry:
    1) Angle ACB = 180-3x;
    2) sin(180-3x)=sin(3x);
    3) 12/sin(2x)=10/sin(3x);
    4) sin(3x)/sin(2x)=10/12=5/6; => cos(x)=3/4 =>
    5) sin(x) = =sqrt(1-(cos(x))^2)= sqrt(1-(5/6)^2) = sqrt(7)/4
    6) AreaABC = 10*12/2*sin(x)= 60*sqrt(7)/4=15*sqrt(7) = approx 39.686 sq units.

    At 1:00, there is an implication that side AB is the base. Actually, side BC or side AC can be treated as the base. However, PreMath's solution is dependent on using AB as the base, so that is the reason why he chose AB as the base. There are probably other solutions that use the other sides as the base. Also, it is possible that using line segments to divide ΔABC into 2 or more triangles would produce solutions where AB is not used as the base. For example, once PreMath has values for h and a, he could have used CP as a common base of triangles ΔACP and ΔBCP and computed and added their areas to equal the area of ΔABC.
    As for the trigonometric solutions provided in the comments, these are great, but the title states that trigonometry is not used.

    Using sin rule, trigonometric means yields a simpler solution, as 12/sin 2x=10/sin 3x, give cos x=3/4, so sin x=sqrt(7)/4, thus the area is 1/2×12×10×(sqrt(7)/4)=15sqrt(7).😊

    I drew a different line, bisecting CAB, meeting CB at D. Then triangles ABC and DAC are similar.
    Let w = AC, y = AD = BD, z = DC.
    z/w = w/12, i.e. z = (w^2)/12, and y/w = 10/12, i.e. y = (5/6)w
    But BC = BD + DC = y + z = (w^2)/12 + 5w/6 = 12, which gives w = 8
    With s = (triangle perimeter)/2 = (a+b+c)/2 where a,b,c are the side lengths
    area = sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
    We have s = (12+10+8)/2 = 15 and area = sqrt(15*3*5*7) = sqrt(1575) = 15sqrt(7).

We reduce everything that is possible and get 3/cos(x)=5/(3-4sin^2(x)). We replace the sine with the cosine on the right side of the equality using the basic trigonometric identity sin^1(x)+cos^2(x)=1. 3/cos(x)=5/(3-4+4cos^2(x)). 3/cos(x)=5/(4cos^2(x)-1). After the transformations, we obtain the quadratic equation 12cos^2(x)-5cos(x) -3=0. This equation has 2 roots, one of which is negative, which cannot be. cjs(x)=0.75. We find sin(x)=√1-0,75:2=√7/4 and the area according to the formula.

    The area of the triangle is (1/2).BA.BC.sin(x) = (1/2).10.12.sin(x) = 60.sin(x). Now let(s calculate sin(x)
    We have: sin(x)/AC = sin(2.x)/12 = sin(180° -3.x)/10 in triangle ABC, so 10.sin(2.x) = 12.sin(3.x), or 5.sin(2.x) = 6.sin(3.x)
    Then: 5.2.sin(x).cos(x) = 6.(3.sin(x) - 4.(sin(x))^3) We divide by sin(x) which is non equal to 0: 10.cos(x) =18 - 24.(sin(x))^2
    We simplify by 2 and replace (cos(x))^2 by 1 - (sin(x))^2, we obtain: 5.cos(x) = 9 -12.(1 -(cos(x)^2) or: 12.(cos(x)^2 -5.cos(x) -3 =0
    Delta = (-5)^2 -4.12.(-3) = 25 +144 = 169 = (13)^2, so cos(x) = (5 -13)/24 = -1/3 which is rejected as negative, or cos(x) = (5 +13)/24 = 18/24 = 3/4
    Then (cos(x)) = 9/16 and (sin(x))^2 = 1 - (9/16) = 7/16 and sin(x) = sqrt(7)/4 (as sin(x)>0, 0

    Let's find the area:
    .
    ..
    ...
    ....
    .....
    Let's introduce a point D on BC such that ∠BAD=x. Then we have two triangles ABD and ACD with:
    ∠BAD = x
    ∠ABD = x
    ∠ADB = 180° − ∠BAD − ∠ABD = 180° − 2x
    ∠CAD = x
    ∠ADC = 180° − ∠ADB = 180° − (180° − 2x) = 2x
    ∠ACD = 180° − ∠CAD − ∠ADC = 180° − x − 2x = 180° − 3x
    Therefore ABD is an isosceles triangle (AD=BD) and the triangles ABC and ACD are similar:
    AB/AD = AC/CD = BC/AC
    AC/CD = BC/AC ⇒ AC² = CD*BC
    AB/AD = AC/CD
    AB²/AD² = AC²/CD²
    AB²/AD² = CD*BC/CD²
    AB²/AD² = BC/CD
    AB²/AD² = BC/(BC − BD)
    AB²/AD² = BC/(BC − AD)
    10²/AD² = 12/(12 − AD)
    100/AD² = 12/(12 − AD)
    25/AD² = 3/(12 − AD)
    300 − 25*AD = 3*AD²
    3*AD² + 25*AD − 300 = 0
    AD
    = [−25 ± √(25² + 4*3*300)] / (2*3)
    = [−25 ± √(625 + 3600)] / 6
    = (−25 ± √4225) / 6
    = (−25 ± 65) / 6
    Obviously only one of the two solutions is useful:
    AD = (−25 + 65)/6 = 40/6 = 20/3
    Since ABD is an isosceles triangle, it can be divided into two congruent right triangles. So we can conclude:
    cos(x) = (AB/2)/AD = (10/2)/(20/3) = 5*3/20 = 3/4
    sin(x) = √(1 − cos²(x)) = √(1 − 9/16) = √(7/16) = √7/4
    Finally we are able to calculate the area of the triangle ABC:
    A(ABC) = (1/2)*AB*BC*sin(x) = (1/2)*10*12*√7/4 = 15√7
