To solve a proportion, you can either use cross products or basic multiplication.

To do cross products, you would multiply 17 (1st numerator) by 6 (2nd denominator). 

Do the same with the other diagonal angle, 3 times y.

You'll end up with 3y = 102.

To solve for y, you divide both sides by 3.

102 ÷ 3 = 34

y = 34

The other way you could solve this is to see that 6 is 2 times as large as 3, so you would multiply 17 by 2 to get an equal proportion.

3 × 2 = 6
17 × 2 = 34

Your final answer is y = 34. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

1. 6/10 – 2/5 =

Ans: 2/10, which can be reduced to 1/5.

2. If a tank is 5/8 filled with solution, how much of the tank is empty?

Ans: 3/8 of the tank is empty. Since the whole tank would equal 8/8, or 1, and 5/8 of it is filled, then that

means 3/8 of it remains empty.

3. 1/2 x 3/5 x2/3 =

Ans: 6/30, which can be reduced to 1/5.

4. 5/9 ÷ 4/11 =

Ans: 55/36. You cannot reduce this fraction any further.

Why can you use Linear Pairs and Vertical Angles to prove lines are parallel?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The reason why linear pairs and vertical angles are used to prove lines are parallel is because they area transversal drawn through the parallel lines will form angles on each of the two parallel lines including;

1) Supplementary linear pairs  and

2) Vertical angles

3) Alternate angles

Given that either;

a) The corresponding angles that form the linear pairs are congruent

b) The corresponding vertically opposite angles are congruent

c) The corresponding alternate angles are congruent, we have;

The two lines are said to be parallel.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b =1\dfrac{3}{5} + (-2)\\\\=\dfrac{8}{5}-\dfrac{2*5}{1*5}\\\\=\dfrac{8-10}{5}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-2}{5}\\\\\\2-c = 2-[-7] = 2+7 = 9\\\\\\dfrac{- I a + b I}{2-c}=\dfrac{\dfrac{-2}{5}}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{-2}{5}*\dfrac{1}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{-2}{45}\\\\
