Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking equation (1)
Multiplying both sides by 2
Adding 6y to both sides
Putting this in (2)
5(18+6y) + y = 28
5(18+6y) + y = 28
90 + 30y+y = 28
31y+90-28 = 0
31 y + 62 = 0
31y = -62
Dividing both sides by 31
y = -2
Now,
x = 18 + 6y
x = 18+6(-2)
x = 18-12
x = 6
The value of x is 15.
Solution:
Given ΔPQR ΔUTV.
<em>If two triangles are similar, then the corresponding parts are congruent.</em>
Do cross multiplication, we get
⇒ 14(x - 3) = 8(x + 6)
⇒ 14x - 42 = 8x + 48
Add 42 on both sides.
⇒ 14x = 8x + 90
Subtract 8x on both sides.
⇒ 6x = 90
Divide by 6 on both sides.
⇒ x = 15
The value of x is 15.
