Question

Please help me.... (:

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

The line segment divides the sides in proportion, that is

`(14)/(10)` =
`(2x-3)/(x)` ( cross- multiply )

10(2x - 3) = 14x ← distribute left side

20x - 30 = 14x ( subtract 14x from both sides )

6x - 30 = 0 ( add 30 to both sides )

6x = 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 5
