Triangles IJK and LMN are similar. Then, the proportion between their similar sides must be equal. That is:

IJ/ML = JK/MN = IK/LN

where:

IJ = x

JK = 54

IK = y

MN = 42

ML = 28

NL = 35

In order to find the value of y, you consider the equation JK/MN = IK/LN, and solve for y, just as follow

JK/MN = IK/LN replace by the values

54/42 = y/35 multiply both sides by 35

(54/42)(35) = y

45 = y

Hence, y = 45

Answer: x=-63/73

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 12, Move constant to the right hand side and change its sign, Move variable to the left hand side and change its sign, collect like terms, divide both sides of the equation by -73, x=-63/73 (- 63 over 73)

What dose 2+7x=5x+14 equal

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$x=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2+7x=5x+14$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$2+7x-2=5x+14-2$

$7x=5x+12$

Subtract 5x from both sides:

$7x-5x=5x+12-5x$

$2x=12$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}$

$x=6$
