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."

Answer: The Answer is "less than"
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the sum of a series, you find the difference between the first and last term, multiply that by the number of terms, then divide by 2.
For the even numbers, 2 is the first term and 200 is the 100th term (because 2+(100-1)2 is equal to 200). So, (100(2+202)/2 = 10100.
For the odd numbers, 1 is the first term and 201 is the 101th term (because 1+(101-1)2 is equal to 201). So, (101(1+202))/2 = 10251.5.
10100<10251.5 so the sum of the first 100 even numbers is less than the sum of the first odd 101 numbers.
