Question

Solve for x

Can someone please help??I've been stuck on this for far to long

Answer 1

x = 7

Explanation:

We need to find the value of x in the given figure. It can be calculated using ratio.

We know that,

4+3 = 7

Taking ratios,

`(7)/(3)=(14)/(x-1)`

or

`(1)/(3)=(2)/(x-1)\\\\x-1=6\\\\x=6+1\\\\x=7`

So, the value of x is equal to 7.
