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 costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.
Thus, the cost of 18 stamps = $8.28
Then the cost of 1 stamp=
Thus, the cost of 1 stamp=$0.46
With the same rate , the cost of 12 stamps=
Therefore, the cost of 12 stamps= $5.52
hence, it costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.
