Answer:

You don't technically need the ( ) around the 2n, but I included them to avoid confusion.
Assuming that both triangles are an exact copy of one another, it is safe to assume that 3y-7 is equal to 41. Set up an equation
3y-7=41
Add 7 to both sides
3y=48
Divide both sides by 3
y=16
Now to find PN.
Based on what we know, we can assume that MP = PN. Let's make some equations!
MP = 17x-8 PN = 11x+4
17x-8 = 11x+4
Subtract 11x from both sides
6x-8 = 4
Add 8 to both sides
6x = 12
Divide by 2
x=2
Substitute 2 in for x in the equation for PN
11(2)+4
Multiply 11 by 2
22+4 = 26
PN = 26
Answer: pretty sure the answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(2) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5
2 + 6 - 1/2(2) -2 = 8 - 1 - 2 = 5
Answer:
b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply: 39(b) = (26)(9)
39b = 234
Divide both sides by 39
b = 6
