Question

Suppose the point B lies on the segment CD between the points C and D. and CB = 5.x, BD = 3x and BD = 12.FindEe

Answer 1

x = 4

BD = 12

CB = 5x = 20

CD = 32

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that point B lies on CD between C and D.

So, we can say that

CD = CB + BD

CB = 5x

BD = 3x

BD = 12

Since, BD = BD

3x = 12

Divide both sides by 3

(3x/3) = (12/3)

x = 4

CD = CB + BD

CD = 5x + 3x = 8x = 8 (4) = 32

Hope this Helps!!!
