Start off by knowing that the two triangle are congruent. By knowing this you can turn the given numbers into fractions.

9/72 = 7/7x+7

then cross multiply, which equals

63x + 63 = 504

then solve this equation

63x = 441 - subtract 63 from both sides
x = 7 - divide by 63 from both sides

so your answer is x=7

£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen so that Natasha gets twice as much as Richard, and Richard gets three time

Korvikt [17]

The share of Natasha is £ 42

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen

Total amount = 70

Let the share of natasha be "x"

Let the share of richard be "y"

Let the share of stephen be "z"

Natasha gets twice as much as Richard

x = 2y ------ eqn 1

Richard gets three times as much as Stephen

y = 3z

$z = \frac{y}{3}$ ----- eqn 2

Total amount = 70

share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70

x + y + z = 70

Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2

$2y + y + \frac{y}{3} = 70\\\\\frac{6y+3y+y}{3} = 70\\\\10y = 210\\\\y = 21$

Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1

x = 2y = 2(21) = 42

x = 42

Thus natasha gets £ 42

Find an ordered pair that is solution for linear equation 4x-5y=20

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

(5,0) is the solution of the given equation.

(0,-4) is the solution of the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is: 4 x- 5y = 20

Now, we need to find a value for (x,y) such that the above equation is satisfied.

The ONLY POSSIBLE way to do this is Hit and Trial.

Let us substitute x = 0

Then the equation becomes : 4 (0) - 5y = 20

or, -5 y = 20 ⇒ y = -20/5 = - 4

So, for x = 0, y = - 4

So, (0,-4) will be the solution of the given equation.

Let us substitute y = 0

Then the equation becomes : 4 (x) - 5(0) = 20

or, 4 x = 20 ⇒ x = 20/4 = 5

So, for x = 5, y = 0

So, (5,0) will be the solution of the given equation.

We can try another substitution as well.

For any value of x, we will get a corresponding value of y. So, (x,y) will be the solution of the given equation.
