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."
