Question

What is the value of x ?
Need the answer quick
​

Answer 1

x = 50.6

Explanation:

Since AB is parallel to NP and intersects the other 2 sides, it divides those sides proportionally, that is

`(MA)/(AN)` =
`(MB)/(BP)`

MA = 46.2 - 14 = 32.2 and BP = 72.6 - x, hence

`(32.2)/(14)` =
`(x)/(72.6-x)` ( cross- multiply )

14x = 32.2(72.6 - x) ← distribute

14x = 2337.72 - 32.2x ( add 32.2x to both sides )

46.2x = 2337.72 ( divide both sides by 46.2 )

x = 50.6

Answer 2

i believe x= 36.3

72.6/2=36.3
