Answer:
A) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
BC is congruent to DC in saying this you can plug the equations to each other and solve for y and then put its back into the equation for BC to get the length.
3y+5=5y-1
subtract 3y from both sides --> 5=2y-1
add 1 to both sides --> 6=2y
now get y alone, divide by 2 by both side --> y=3
plug y in back to 5y-1 --> 5x3-1
15-1
BC = 14
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)

Answer:
since M lies between point A and B , we came to know that,
M(4,6) =(x,y)
A(-2,-1)=(x1 ,y1)
B( _, _ )=(x2,y2)
Now using mid point formula,
x=x1×x2÷2 y=y1+y2÷2
so, point B is (10,13)
