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."

270 american dollar and recevied 3000 pesos when he returned from mexico he had 100 pesos left. how many will he recevie when he
AURORKA [14]
To solve this problem we can use simple proportion
If 
270$ -------------------------3000 pesos
x $  ---------------------------100 pesos               (x$ means that we dont know how much)
Now we crossmultiplying to get proportion
x*3000=270*100
Now we just to solve eq
3000x=27000  /:3000
x=27000:3000
x=9$ - its the result
