Answer:

  a.  x = 9

  b.  GH = 30; GK = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle bisector in a triangle divides the sides proportionally.

a.

In this triangle, that means ...

  (3x +3)/18 = (3x -7)/12

  2(3x +3) = 3(3x -7) . . . . . . . multiply by 36

  6x +6 = 9x -21 . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  27 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 21 -6x

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

__

b.

The segment lengths are found by substituting the value of 3x in each of the given expressions:

  GH = 3x +3 = 27 +3 = 30

  GK = 3x -7 = 27 -7 = 20
