Answer:

x=50.6\text{ cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a diagram of two triangle and we are asked to find the value of x.

We can see from our diagram that triangle AMB and triangle NMP share a common angle that is angle M. As line AB is parallel to line NP, so corresponding angle will be also equal, therefore, by AAA similarity \Delta NMP\sim \Delta AMB.

Since we know that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, so we can set up a proportion as:

\frac{MA}{MN}=\frac{x}{MP}    

We can see from our given diagram that MA=MN-AN.

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

MA=46.2\text{ cm}-14\text{ cm}

MA=32.2\text{ cm}  

Now let us substitute our given side length in the above proportion.

\frac{32.2}{46.2}=\frac{x}{72.6}

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 72.6 we will get,

\frac{32.2}{46.2}*72.6=\frac{x}{72.6}*72.6

50.6=x

Therefore, the value of x is 50.6 cm.

Solve by using any method of substitution<br><br>4 +8x = y <br>6x - y = 2
Bumek [7]

Answer:

(-3,-20)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 +8x = y ...... equation (1)

6x - y = 2 ........equation(2)

from equation 2

6x - y = 2

6x -(4+8x) =2

6x - 4 + 8x = 2

    +4              +4

6x - 8x = 6

-2x=6

divide by -2

x= -3

put x in equation (1) to solve for y

4 + 8x = y

4+8(-3)=y

4-24=y

-20=y

y= -20

solution = (-3,-20)
