So we are given the expression:
÷ 
When we divide fractions, we must flip the second term and change the sign to multiplication:

And then we multiply across:

Then we can break apart all of the like variables for simplification:

When we simplify variables through division, we subtract the exponent of the numerator from the exponent of the denominator. So we then have:



So then we multiply all of these simplified parts together:

So now we know that the simplified form of the initial expression is:
.
x = 8
Solution:
Side-splitter theorem:
<em>If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.</em>

Do cross multiplication, we get
⇒ 4 × 42 = 21x
Divide by 21 on both sides, we get
⇒ 4 × 2 = x
⇒ 8 = x
Switch the sides.
⇒ x = 8
The value of x is 8.
Answer: 38.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Add all the numbers together and divide the sum by how many numbers there are.
Suppose he invest x dollars in one account, y in the other
x+y=12,500
0.042x+0.062y=669.50
multiple the first equation by 0.042: 0.042x+0.042y=525
subtract this new equation from equation 2: 0.02y=144.50
y=7225
x=12500-7225=5275
