Given:
The figure of a triangle.
To find:
The missing length.
Solution:
Let x be the missing length.
Basic proportionality theorem(BPT): According to this theorem, if a line is parallel to the one side of a triangle then that the line intersects the other two sides of the triangle in the same ratio.
Using Basic proportionality theorem, we get
Adding x on both sides, we get
The missing length is 3 Therefore, the correct option is D.

Solve the Inequality.
x<-4
First, add 6x on both sides:
-2x+3+6x<-13
Add the x's:
4x+3<-13
Now, subtract 3 on both sides:
4x<-13-3
4x<-16
Divide by 4 on both sides:
x<-4
So the values of x that are less than -4 will make the given inequality true.
<h3>Good luck.</h3>
