<h3>Answer: TV = 10</h3>

==============================================

Explanation

Let x be some positive real number such that

ST = 6x
TU = 2x
UV = 3x

leading to the ratio

ST:TU:UV = 6x:2x:3x = 6:2:3

Note how I effectively started with 6:2:3 and multiplied all parts of the ratio by x to get 6x:2x:3x

-----------------

The parts of the ratio add up to the longest segment SV

ST+TU+UV = SV

6x+2x+3x = 22

11x = 22

x = 22/11

x = 2

Therefore,

ST = 6x = 6*2 = 12
TU = 2x = 2*2 = 4
UV = 3x = 3*2 = 6

Note how ST+TU+UV = 12+4+6 = 22, which is the length of SV. This helps confirm we have the correct x value.

-----------------

The last step is to find the length of TV

TV = TU+UV

TV = 4+6

TV = 10

Or you could do

ST + TV = SV

12+TV = 22

TV = 22-12

TV = 10

Solve for x<br><br> THANK YOU

Answer:

$x=\dfrac{-17+ \sqrt{451} }{18}, \quad x=\dfrac{-17- \sqrt{451} }{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textsf{Given equation}:$

$\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{3x}{x}=\dfrac{4x}{2}(3x+6)$

$\textsf{Cancel the common factor } x \textsf{ in }\dfrac{3x}{x}:$

$\implies \dfrac{2}{3}x+3=\dfrac{4x}{2}(3x+6)$

$\textsf{Simplify }\dfrac{4x}{2}\textsf{ by dividing the numbers}:$

$\implies \dfrac{2}{3}x+3=2x(3x+6)$

$\textsf{Apply the distributive law}\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac:$

$\implies \dfrac{2}{3}x+3=6x^2+12x$

$\textsf{Multiply both sides by 3 to cancel the denominator of }\dfrac{2}{3}:$

$\implies \dfrac{2}{3}x\cdot 3+3\cdot 3=6x^2\cdot 3+12x \cdot 3$

$\implies 2x+9=18x^2+36x$

$\textsf{Switch sides}:$

$\implies 18x^2+36x=2x+9$

$\textsf{Subtract }2x \textsf{ from both sides}:$

$\implies 18x^2+36x-2x=2x+9-2x$

$\implies 18x^2+34x=9$

$\textsf{Subtract 9 from both sides}:$

$\implies 18x^2+34x-9=9-9$

$\implies 18x^2+34x-9=0$

Solve using the <u>Quadratic Formula:</u>

$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0$

Define the variables:

$\implies a=18, \quad b=34, \quad c=-9$

Substitute the defined variables into the quadratic formula and solve for x:

$\implies x=\dfrac{-34 \pm \sqrt{34^2-4(18)(-9)} }{2(18)}$

$\implies x=\dfrac{-34 \pm \sqrt{1156+648} }{36}$

$\implies x=\dfrac{-34 \pm \sqrt{1804} }{36}$

$\implies x=\dfrac{-34 \pm \sqrt{4 \cdot 451} }{36}$

$\implies x=\dfrac{-34 \pm \sqrt{4}\sqrt{451} }{36}$

$\implies x=\dfrac{-34 \pm 2\sqrt{451} }{36}$

$\implies x=\dfrac{-17 \pm \sqrt{451} }{18}$

Therefore, the solutions to the given equation are:

$x=\dfrac{-17+ \sqrt{451} }{18}, \quad x=\dfrac{-17- \sqrt{451} }{18}$
