Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and it intersects the other 2 sides, it divides those sides proportionally,

(1)

$\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{x}$ ( cross multiply )

x = 4

(3)

$\frac{8}{x}$ = $\frac{14}{49-14}$, that is

$\frac{8}{x}$ = $\frac{14}{35}$ ( cross- multiply )

14x = 280 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = 20
