What is the value of x? X
+ 4/9= 3/4

X = 11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the common denominator of the fractions and convert them.

(4/9) x 4 = 16/36

(3/4) x 9 = 27/36

X + 16/36 = 27/36

Now you can solve for X

X = 11/36

The fraction cannot be simplified

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
