The angle bisector theorem states that if a ray bisects an angle of a triangle,then it divides the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to other two sides.

By the theorem,

$\frac{24}{9x - 9} = \frac{32}{6x + 6} \\ or \: 24(6x + 6) = 32(9x - 9) \\ or \: 144x + 144 = 288x - 288 \\ or \: 144x - 288x = - 288 - 144 \\ or \: - 144x = - 432 \\ or \: x = \frac{ - 432}{ - 144} \\ x = 3$

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Find an expression for the nth term -3 , 2 , 7, 12

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

5n-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this is an arithmetic progression, there is simply an addend that is being added to every number. Because that is 5, the expression, for now, would be 5n. However, the progression does not start at 0, so we will have to subtract 3, and then it would be 5n - 3. We're still not at the answer; this is because the first term starts at 1, not 0. We will have to account for that, so subtract the coefficient, or 5, from the whole expression. That would be 5n - 8, and that would be the answer.
