Question

Find the value of x. B 6 X+1 D E С A x = [?]

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides then it divides those sides proportionally, that is

$\frac{6}{x+1}$ = $\frac{4}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

6x = 4(x + 1)

6x = 4x + 4 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2
