Answer:

Option D is correct.

VS = 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is contained in the attached image to this answer.

From the image attached and the additional information about the triangles, it is evident that that triangle VSW is similar to triangle QSR.

Hence, we can write the ratio as

(VS/QS) = (VW/QR)

VS = 2a

QS = 2 × VS = 2 × 2a = 4a

VW = 2a - 2

QR = 3a + 6

(2a)/(4a) = (2a - 2)/(3a + 6)

Cross multiplying,

2a (3a + 6) = 4a (2a - 2)

3a + 6 = 2 (2a - 2)

3a + 6 = 4a - 4

4a - 3a = 6 + 4

a = 10

VS = 2a = 20 units.

Hope this Helps!!!

James is 1.63 meters tall. Write James’s height in word form. Explain how you Found your answer.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

James is 1 meter and 63 centimeters tall

Step-by-step explanation:

James is 1 meter and 63 centimeters tall. The first step will be to subtract 1 from his height;

1.63 - 1 = 0.63 meters

The 1 subtracted is equivalent to 1 meter. The next step is to convert the remaining height in meters to centimeters by multiplying by 100;

0.63 * 100 = 63 centimeters

We can thus say, James is 1 meter and 63 centimeters tall or equivalently 163 centimeters tall

Solve the system of equations. y = -5x + 24 y = 4x - 21 a. ( -5, -1) c. ( -1, 5) b. ( 5, -1) d. No solution
Svetlanka [38]

y = -5x + 24

y = 4x - 21

Since both of these equations are equal to Y, theyre equal to each other.

So we can make an equation with y = -5x + 24 in one side and y = 4x - 21 on the other.

-5x + 24 = 4x - 21

Now in order to get the value of x we need to isolate it in one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:

-5x + 24 - 24 = 4x - 21 - 24

-5x = 4x - 45

Now we subtract 4x from both sides so the 4x shift to the other side

-5x - 4x = 4x - 4x - 45

-9x = -45

Finally divide both sides by -9 so x is by itself

(-9)÷(-9x) = -(45)÷(-9)

x = 5

Since we did all of this to BOTH sides of the equation, both sides are still equal to each other and the equation still is true.

Now apply x = 5 to either of the initial equations to find the value of Y

y = -5x + 24 or y = 4x - 21

(I'll do both but u only need one)

y = -5(5) + 24

y = -25 + 24

y = -1

y = 4(5) - 21

y = 20 - 21

y = -1

Either way, X is 5 and Y is -1

Answer (5, -1)
