Question

How do I solve this question I don’t know how to do it at all

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram first.

We know that in a triangle if we draw a line parallel to the baseline then it will divide the other two lines of the triangle in the same ratio.

Therefore, from the given figure it is clear that $\frac{x}{13-x} = \frac{2}{3}$

⇒ 3x = 26 - 2x

⇒ 5x = 26

⇒ x = 5.2 (Answer)
