Answer 3

hmmm not sure I follow it

Answer 4

what??

Answer 5

using Law of Sines ... i get x = 4/3

Answer 6

@Nnesha , what is the 3/2 referring to?

Answer 7

but we are not using law of sines in this chapter
parallel line and proportional parts

Answer 8

yes that proportion will work ... sorry to confuse you
i had forgotten that would work so i used law of signs which gives the proof for why you can set up the proportion

Answer 9

in other words i did more work than i needed to lol

Answer 10

:) yeah

Answer 11

???

Answer 12

well what are they asking for?

x = 4/3

i dont know what 3/2 is referring to?

Answer 13

wait i'll show you my work

Answer 14

@Nnesha , what are you saying is 3/2? the proportion?

if so then you are correct

Answer 15

so both can be answer of this question ?

Answer 16

oh i see since i worked it our differently i missed the solution x=3/2

yes your work is correct :)

however when x=3/2 notice that the lengths become 0 for "2x-3" and "4/3x -2"
0/0 is not a useful proportion and does not equal 6/3x

so x=3/2 is a extraneous solution

Answer 17

ohh thanks a lot
