Question

How do I find the following answer to parts B?

Answer 1

X = 6

Explanation:

Answer 2

Since the triangle is divided in half, we can asume the following relationship:

`5x-4=2\cdot(2x+1)`

Solving for x we get the following:

`\begin{gathered} 5x-4=2\cdot(2x+1) \\ \Rightarrow5x-4=4x+2 \\ \Rightarrow5x-4x=2+4 \\ \Rightarrow x=6 \end{gathered}`

therefore, x=6
