Question

Given the ratios relating sides of the triangle, solve for x and find the requested side
AC:BC:AB is 5:3:2

Answer 1

Given that AC/BC = 5/3, you have the relationship:

5/3 = (2x + 6)/(4x - 2)

From here, now that you have the ratio set up, all you have to do is cross-multiply and solve for "x". This is straightforward now because this is 1 equation in 1 variable.
