Difficult word problem i can’t figure out.?

Ahmed has half of a treasure map,
which indicates that the treasure is buried in the
desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa has the
other half of the map. Her half indicates that to find
the treasure, one must get to Castle Rock, walk x paces to
the north, and then walk 2x + 4 paces to the east. If they
share their information, then they can find x and save a
lot of digging. What is x?
