Try this option:
1. the sides of the biggest triangle are 16; x and √(16²-x²); the sides of the smallest triange are x;5 and y. The smallest triangle ~ the biggest triangle. Using the property of the similar triangles:

2. according to the Pyphagorean theorem (in the smallest triangle):

answer: y=√55.
Answer: -4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of a segment is located at the same distance of each of the endpoints of the segment.
The midpoint is at x = 1.
The length of the segment is 10.5, if we divide it by two we have:
10.5/2 = 5.25
Now, if we want the endpoints to be at the same distance of the midpoint, then the endpoints will be:
Xmax = midpoint + 5.25
Xmin = midpoint - 5.25
Then the extremes are:
Xmax = 1 + 5.25 = 6.25
Xmin = 1 - 5.25 = -4.25
Then this segment can be written as:
Xmin ≤ x ≤ Xmax
-4.25 ≤ x ≤ 6.25
Answer:
$48
Step-by-step explanation:
price of jacket : original price
3 : 4
If 64 = 4, we can find out 1.
64 / 4 = 16
16 x 3 = 48
16 x 4 = 64
48 : 64
sale price = $48

Answer:
y = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y - 16 - 3y = 0
Group like terms
y - 3y - 16 = 0
Add similar elements: y - 3y = - 2y
- 2y - 16 = 0
Add 16 to both sides
- 2y - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16
Simplify
- 2y = 16
Divide both sides by - 2
= 
Simplify
: y

Apply the fraction rule: 
= 
Divide the numbers: 
= y
Simplify
: - 8

Apply the fraction rule: 

Divide the numbers:
= 8
= - 8
y = - 8
