Answer:

We can just work backwards to find the value of x.

If 3 * x = 23,

then x = 23 / 3

and 23 / 3 = 7.6 reoccurring.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

  • 11.2

Explanation:

According to angle bisector theorem we have ratios:

  • 11/14 = (20 - x) / x

Cross-multiply and solve for x:

  • 11x = 14(20 - x)
  • 11x = 280 - 14x
  • 11x + 14x = 280
  • 25x = 280
  • x = 280/25
  • x = 11.2
