Answer:
x = 7 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle is 6/9 = 2/3 the size of the larger triangle, so the left side is ...
(x -2) = (2/3)(8)
3(x -2) = 16 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
3x -6 = 16 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x = 22 . . . . . . . . add 6; next divide by 3*
x = 22/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . . feet
_____
* Note that we multiplied by 3, then divided by 3. If you're comfortable working with fractions and/or mixed numbers, these steps are unnecessary. The answer is simply x = 2 + 16/3 = 22/3.
Answer:
<h2>y = -5/4x -8</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/4 - 3 1/9
5 9/36 - 3 4/36
2 5/36 is final answer
First we solve for y₁
3×5 - 5y₁ = 20
15 - 5y₁ = 20
-5y₁ = 20 - 15
-5y₁ = 5
y₁ = -1
(5, -1)
Now we solve for x₂
3x₂ - 5×2 = 20
3x₂ - 10 = 20
3x₂ = 20 + 10
3x₂ = 30
x₂ = 10
(10, 2)
