Answer:32
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The various segments of the diagram are proportional from one triangle to the other. Here, we see that the length 10 is twice the difference between the long sides:
(10 = 2·(15-10))
Then y will be twice the difference between the lengths of the bottom edges. That difference is marked as 4, so y = 2·4 = 8.
___
Side note
The relative dimensions of the sides of the triangles are 3:4:5, so this will actually be a right triangle, with the right angle at lower left. It is not drawn to scale.
_____
If you insist on equations, you can write ...
y/(y+4) = 10/15 . . . . corresponding sides are proportional
15y = 10y +40 . . . . multiply by 15(y+4)
5y = 40 . . . . . . . . . subtract 10y
y = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8, 19
Step-by-step explanation:
let group 1 have x students and group 2 have y students
x + y = 27
but group 2 has 2x + 3 students
the sum of students from both groups is 27
x + 2x + 3 = 27
3x + 3 = 27
3x = 24
x = 8
y = 2x + 3
y = 19
