VK = VY+YK by the segment addition postulate. Basically adding two segments along a straight line forms a longer segment. In this case, VY and YK combine to form VK
Since VK = x and VY = 22, this means...
VK = VY+YK
x = 22+YK
x-22 = YK
YK = x-22
-----------------------------------------------------
Notice the arc marks where the point T is located. These markings tell us that the two angles VTY and YTK are congruent angles. Because of this, we can use the angle bisector theorem which says that the ratio of the corresponding sides are congruent.
In short, we can form this ratio
VT/VY = KT/KY
which is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle, to the side opposite the angle
Plug in the given values and solve for x
VT/VY = KT/KY
77/22 = 87.5/(x-22)
77(x-22) = 22*87.5
77(x-22) = 1925
77x-77*22 = 1925
77x-1694 = 1925
77x = 1925+1694
77x = 3619
x = 3619/77
x = 47
Answer: 47
One way:
3x + 4x + 5 x = 30
12 x = 30
Divide by 12
x = 2.5
3x = 7.5 (2.5x3)
4x = 10 (2.5x4)
5x = 12.5 (2.5x5)
7.5cm + 10cm +12.5cm = 30cm There are your three sides.

Answer:
62.5 oz of 100%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the number of ounces of pure syrup. Then (100-p) is the number of ounces of 60% syrup. The amount of maple syrup in the desired mix is ...
p +0.60(100 -p) = 0.85(100)
0.40p +60 = 85 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0.40p = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 60
p = 62.5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.4
62.5 ounces of pure syrup should be mixed with the diluted syrup to make 100 ounces of 85% maple syrup.
_____
The other 37.5 ounces will be 60% syrup.
