Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question Image is attached.

Triangle BED and Triangle CFD are similar.

We can let the length of BD be 5x and DC 7x

We also know BC = 48, thus we can write:

5x + 7x = 48

12x = 48

x = 4

Now, Since DC = 7x, we plug in x = 4 into it.

DC = 7x

DC = 7(4)

DC = 28

Length of DC is 28

Answer:

$\sf\longmapsto \: x = 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 7 from both sides:

7−5x−7=−43−7

Simplify:

−5x=−50

Divide both sides by −5:

$\sf\longmapsto \: \frac{ - 5x}{ - 5} = \frac{ - 50}{5}$

$\sf\longmapsto \: x = 10$

Answer:

$y=\frac{24}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a certain function is an inverse proportion. We are asked to find the formula for the function if it is known that the function is equal to 12 when the independent variable is equal to 2.

We know that two inversely proportional quantities are in form $y=\frac{k}{x}$ , where y is inversely proportional to x and k is constant of variation.
