Question

If BX = 8, BZ = 3, DC = 5, then XC =

Answer 1

in XC = ?, you need to express C in terms of X or x in terms of C you can do this by working your way through the other equations.

From the first equation, you know that b = 8/x.
Substitute that into the second equation bd=3, and you get
8d/x=3 now solve for d (multiply both sides by x/8) and you get
d=3x/8
Substitute that into the third equation you get
3cx/8 = 5
Solve for cx and you get cx=40/3
