Respuesta :

60/(60+40) = x/50

60/100 = x/50

using cross products

60*50 = 100x

3000=100x

divide by 100

x =30


Choice A

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Proportionality Theorem: If a line segment is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides those sides proportionally.

Using Triangle Proportionality Theorem, we get

[tex]\frac{60}{60+40}=\frac{x}{50}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{60}{100}=\frac{x}{50}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 50.

[tex]\frac{6}{10}\times 50=x[/tex]

[tex]30=x[/tex]

The value of x is 30, therefore the correct option is A.
