Answer:
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the triangle proportionally.
The base segment to the right of the bisector is 6-x, so we can write the proportion ...
x/6 = (6-x)/4
Multiplying by 12, we get ...
2x = 3(6 -x)
5x = 18 . . . . . add 3x
x = 18/5 . . . . divide by 5
x = 3.6
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
Since the base of the triangle is given as a left-part and a sum-of-both-parts, we can write the proportion the same way:
left-part / sum-of-both-parts = x/6 = 6/(6+4)
Then the solution is x = 6(6/10) = 36/10 = 3.6.
Doing it this way avoids having x on both sides of the equation, so makes solving the equation be "one step."
Answer:
It would take Brennan 4 track practice runs.
Step-by-step explanation:
He has already run 16 miles and needs to run 28 in total. If we are counting the 16 in the 28 miles, he would need to run only 12 more to reach his goal. And if he runs 3 miles a run, it would take him about 4 runs to finish his 28-mile goal.
(28-16=12 and 12/3=4)
7b/12=4.2
7b=50.4
b=7.2
