Set up a proportion.
The total side of the “top” line is 8 + 10 = 18. The total side of the “bottom” line is 45. This makes the ratio 18/45.
Now we are trying to find the “larger” bottom segment, let it be x. Because the lines are parallel, the ratio of the “larger” top and bottom segments is equal to the ratio of the whole top and bottom lines.
So 18/45 = 10/x
Reduce 2/5 = 10/x
Cross multiply 2x = 50
Solve x = 25
Answer:
x equals five thirteenths
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will follow the steps below;
× x + 
= 4 × x
+ = 4x
= 4x
Multiply both-side of the equation by 4
× 4= 4x × 4
On the left-hand side of the equation 4 will cancel-out 4, thus the equation becomes;
3x + 5 = 16x
subtract 3x from both-side of the equation
16x - 3x = 5
13x = 5
Divide both-side of the equation by 13
= 
(On the left-hand side of the equation 13 at the numerator will cancel-out 13 at the denominator while on the right-hand side of the equation 5 will be divided by 13)
x =
x equals five thirteenths
