Answer:
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the segments proportionally. This means they satisfy ...
bottom segment / side segment = x/6 = (6-x)/4
Multiplying by 12 gives ...
2x = 3(6 -x)
2x = 18 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x = 18 . . . . . . . . add 3x
x = 3.6 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
I like to try to work these mentally. The total of side lengths is 10, so the total base length (6) is 6/10 = 0.6 times that. Then x will be 0.6 times the left side length: 0.6·6 = 3.6 = x.

Answer:
Runners that decrease times are not improving
Step-by-step explanation:
1.50s + 0.75f = 116.25
2f = s
1.50(2f) + 0.75f = 116.25
3f + 0.75f = 116.25
3.75f = 116.25
f = 116.25/3.75
f = 31...31 friday papers
2f = s
2(31) = s
62 = s <=== 62 sunday papers
Hmmmm is not very clear if the 25% is just 25% of the original price, or of the reduced price, but let's assume is of the reduced price.
say the original price is "x", 20% off that, means the sale price is 80% of the original price, or (80/100) * x, or 0.8x.
then Linz shows up on the last day, and she's got 25% off from that price plus a beanie baby and a free garden hose.
so if the price is reduced by 25%, then the sale price is just 75% of whatever it was, but it was already reduced to 0.8x, what is 75% of 0.8x?
(75/100) * 0.8x, or 0.75 * 0.8x, which is 0.6x, now 0.6 * 100 is 60 to change it to percentage format, or 60% overall percentage reduction from the original price.
