Given:
GL = 4x + 1
LO = 6x - 3
GT = 17
TO = 21
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
By the property of kite:
GL = GT and LO = TO
Take any one pair.
GL = GT
[tex]4x + 1=17[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides.
[tex]4x + 1-1=17-1[/tex]
[tex]4x =16[/tex]
Divide by 4 on both sides.
[tex]$\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{16}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x= 4[/tex]
The value of x is 4.
