Answer:
6(3x - 5) + 2(3x - 5) - 8(3x - 5) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the both the parts be 'x' and 'y'
x>y
We know that 4x = 5y
so x = 5y/4
x + y = 54
Replacing x we get
(5y/4) + y = 54
(5y +4y)/4 = 54
9y = 216
y = 24
Replacing y in ' x+y = 54'
we get x = 30
Hence the larger part is 30 whereas the smaller part is 24
Answer: Using the proportions between the segments, the area of the triangles are:
