X is Kevin; Y is Dan

X = 3Y

X - 4 = 5(Y - 4)


3Y - 4 = 5(Y - 4)   
3Y - 4 = 5Y - 20
     + 4         +4
4 cancels each other out.
     3Y = 5Y - 16
     - 5   -5
5 cancels each other out.
    -2Y = -16  
    /2       /2     
       Y = 8 

X = 3Y;    
X = 3 x 8;

Thus,
X = 24;
Kevin(x) is 24

Which points are on the perpendicular bisector of the given segment? Check all that apply. Please explain how you got your answe
ser-zykov [4K]
First, you have to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of this given line. 
to do that, you need the slope of the perpendicular line and one point.
Step 1: find the slope of the given line segment. We have the two end points (10, 15) and (-20, 5), so the slope is m=(15-5)/(10-(-20))=1/3
the slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, m=-3/1=-3 
step 2: find the middle point: x=(-20+10)/2=-5, y=(15+5)/2=10      (-5, 10)
so the equation of the perpendicular line in point-slope form is (y-10)=-3(x+5)

now plug in all the given coordinates to the equation to see which pair fits:
(-8, 19): 19-10=9, -3(-8+5)=9, so yes, (-8, 19) is on the perpendicular line. 

try the other pairs, you will find that (1,-8) and (-5, 10) fit the equation too. (-5,10) happens to be the midpoint.

"at the end of the year Juan has $52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning of the year if his ending balance was $17
Salsk061 [2.6K]
At the end of the year, Juan has 52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning. Okay, let's set this up.

4x + 52.71
(4 times) (52.71 more)
His ending was 172.90, so
4x + 52.71=172.90
4x= 120.19
x= 30.05
He had $30.05 at the beginning of the year.

Which equation can be solved to find one of the missing side lengths in the triangle?
algol13
There are several different equations that can be used to find missing sides, these can be trigonometric functions or the distance formula. The trigonometric functions consist of sine (opposite/hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse), and tangent (opposite/adjacent. The adjacent side is represented by the side next to the given angle measure, the opposite is the side that is connected to adjacent side and across from the given angle, and the hypotenuse is the diagonal that connects the opposite side to the given angle- most notable because its line isn't straight like the other sides.
 The distance formula is used to find the measurement of missing side lengths in all quadrilaterals, and it's: D = sqrt(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 where x are the x-coordinates of two given points and y are the y-coordinates of the same two given points.
