58% = 58/100, which simplified, is 29/50.
The bisector divides the line BC in the following ratio.
(x + 8) / 10 = (2x - 5) / 14 Cross Multiply
14(x + 8) = 10(2x - 5) Remove the brackets.
14x + 112 = 20x - 50 Subtract 14x from both sides . Add 50 to both sides
112 + 50 = 20x - 14x Collect like terms
162 = 6x Divide by 6
x = 27
Answer:
x=1 or x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4x = 12 or 0.75x = 12
3/4x/3/4 = 12/3/4 or 0.75x/0.75 = 12/0.75
x=12/1 / 3/4
x= 4/4
x = 1 or x = 16
