Let D be the endpoint of the angle bisector opposite A on lying on side BC. The angle bisector theorem states that the ratio of BD to CD is equal to the ratio of AB to AC. In this case, you have

\dfrac{2x-1}{3x}=\dfrac9{15}

(This is the same equation that you have, it's just rearranged.)

Multiply both sides by 3x and 15.

15\times3x\times\dfrac{2x-1}{3x}=15\times3x\times\dfrac9{15}
15(2x-1)=3x\times9

Now you can solve for x.

30x-15=27x
3x=15
x=5

-x²-8x-16=0 <br>what is the solutions by solving by quadratic equations ​
Alika [10]

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- x² - 8x - 16 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 to clear the leading negative )

x² + 8x + 16 = 0 ← this is a perfect square

(x + 4)² = 0 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = 0 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4

Ksju [112]

Answer:

  y = 1/2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is the x-coefficient: -2. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of this:

  -1/(-2) = 1/2

The only answer choice with a slope of 1/2 is ...

  y = 1/2x -3
