M + 12 = 10 solve equation

1 answer:

7 0

OK. Watch carefully, as I guide you through the mysterious and
complex methods of solution, taught to me from the ancient
sacred scrolls of Tibet. It won't be easy, but I'll go slow so that
neither of us gets lost along the path, to the ultimate wisdom.
Remember ... the "solution" is the number that 'M' must be, in order
to make the equation a true statement. Ready ? Here we go.
Fossen your seat belt, it's goin to be eh boompy rade, mon:

The equation. You said that M + 12 = 10

Subtract 12 from each side: M = -2 .

Were you able to follow all of that ?

Answer:

x = 14

y = 4

Explanation:

Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.

So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.

So we can write the equation x = y + 10.

Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.

So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.

Now we have the equations $\left \{ {{x=y+10} \atop {4y=x+2}} \right.$ you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
