Question

Find the value of x.​

Answer 1

x = 24.5

Explanation:

given a line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides, then it divides those sides proportionally, that is

`(6)/(27-6)` =
`(7)/(x)`

`(6)/(21)` =
`(7)/(x)` ( cross- multiply )

6x = 147 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 24.5
