X = 4



x / 3 = x + 4 / x + 2

Cross multiply
x * x + 2 = 3 * x + 4

Distribute
x^2 + 2x = 3x + 12

Set equal to zero
x^2 - x - 12 = 0

Factor
(x - 4)(x +3) = 0

Solve
x = 4 or x = -3

Length can’t be negative so x = 4

Check:
x / 3 = x + 4 / x + 2
4 / 3 = 4 + 4 / 4 + 2
4 / 3 = 8 / 6
4 / 3 = 4 / 3 :)

Find the cosine of angle B.
Alexandra [31]

\boxed { \text {Cosine Rule : } a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos(A) }

-

9² = 12² + 15² - 2 (12) (15) cos (B)

81 = 144 + 225 - 360 cos(B)

81 = 369 - 360 cos (B)

360 cos (B) = 369 - 81

360 cos (B) = 288

cos (B) = 0.8

-

Answer: Cosine B = 0.8

-

\boxed { \text {Cosine Rule : } a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos(A) }

-

12² = 15² + 9² - 2 (15)(9) cos (A)

144 = 225 + 81 - 270 Cos A

144 = 306 - 270 Cos A

270 Cos A = 162

Cos A = 3/5 or 0.6

-

Answer: Cosine Angle A = 3/5
