What is the value of x?

lina2011 [118]

Answer : The value of x is 5.

Step-by-step explanation :

According to the angle bisector theorem, an angle bisector of a triangle will divide the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.

That means,

$\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{AC}{CD}$

$\frac{9}{2x-1}=\frac{15}{3x}$

By the cross multiplication, we get:

$9\times 3x=(2x-1)\times 15$

$27x=30x-15$

$30x-27x=15$

$3x=15$

$x=\frac{15}{3}$

$x=5$

Therefore, the value of x is 5.

Solve using equivalent ratios.

guapka [62]

The width of the new card is 9 inches.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, we have to solve using equivalent ratios. Wayne has a recipe on a 3-inch-by-5-inch index card that he wants to enlarge to 15 inches long.

We have to find width of the enlargement

Now, dimensions of card is $\bold{\frac{(3 \text { inch })}{(5 \text { inch })}}$

Let the new width of card be n inches .

So, New dimensions of card is $\bold{\frac{(n \text { inch })}{(15 \text { inch })}}$

Then, equivalent ratio is $\bold{\frac{3}{5}=\frac{n}{15}}$

$\bold{\frac{3}{5}=\frac{n}{15} \rightarrow n=\frac{3}{5} \times 15 \rightarrow n=3 \times 3 \rightarrow n=9}$
