Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem. Put the side of the small triangle over the side of the large triangle.

x 42

------ = ----------

x+10 42+15

x 42

------ = ----------

x+10 57

Solve using cross products

57x = 42(x+10)

Distribute

57x = 42x+420

Subtract 42x from each side

57x-42x = 42x-42x+420

15x = 420

Divide by 15

15x/15 = 420/15

x=28

Where y=5x-7 and -3x-2y=-12 Write your answer as x,y

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

(x,y) = (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=5x-7 (i)

-3x-2y= -12

-(3x+2y)= -12

3x+2y= 12 (ii)

By putting the value of y from (i) in (ii)

3x+2(5x-7)=12

3x+10x-14=12

13x=12+14

13x= 26

x = $\frac{26}{13}$

x= 2

By putting the value of x in (i)

y= 5(2)-7

y= 10-7

y= 3

(x,y) = (2,3)
