Answer:

The value of x is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle

∵ A segment joining two points lie on the two side

∵ This segment is parallel to the third side

∴ This segment divides the two sides into parts that have the same ratio

→ That means x over 2x - 3 equal to 10 over 14

∵ \frac{x}{2x-3} = \frac{10}{14}

→ By using cross multiplication

∴ 10 × (2x - 3) = x × 14

∴ 10(2x) - 10(3) = 14x

∴ 20x - 30 = 14x

→ Add 30 to both sides

∵ 20x - 30 + 30 = 14x + 30

∴ 20x = 14x + 30

→ Subtract 14x from both sides

∵ 20x - 14x = 14x - 14x + 30

∴ 6x = 30

→ Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 5

∴ The value of x is 5
