Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hello,
so we know y in terms of t and x in terms of t and we need to find y in terms of x

and then

hope this helps
Answer:
- 
Step-by-step explanation:
The reciprocal of a number n is 
The negative reciprocal is the negative of this, thus
reciprocal of 2 is - 
In the given diagram, the traingles USW and UTV are similar triangles and thus the following ratio equality applies to them.
..........(Equation 1)
Checking the diagram given, we see that:
VT=y, WS=22, VU=8, ST=x-2
WU=WV+VU=12+8=20
TU=5
SU=ST+TU=(x-2)+5=x+3
Thus, substituting the required values in (Equation 1) we get:

Now, as can be clearly seen, to find y we will use the first two ratios as:


In a similar manner, to find the value of x we can use the last two ratios:

After cross multiplication we get:

Which can be simplified as:

Thus, 
Therefore, the required answer is:
x=9.5 and y=8.8
7d+12-14d-3
Combine like terms
-7d+9
Hope this helped.
