The value of the variable y is y=6

Explanation:

The given equation is \frac{6}{y-4}-\frac{y}{y+2}=\left(\frac{6}{y-4}\right)\left(\frac{y}{y+2}\right)

Taking LCM on LHS of the equation, we get,

\frac{6(y+2)-y(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+2)}=\left(\frac{6}{y-4}\right)\left(\frac{y}{y+2}\right)

Simplifying the term on RHS of the equation, we get,

\frac{6(y+2)-y(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+2)}=\frac{6 y}{(y-4)(y+2)}

Since, both the sides of the equation have the same denominator, we can cancel them.

Thus, we have,

6(y+2)-y(y-4)=6 y

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get,

6y+12-y^2-4y=6 y

Adding the like terms, we have,

2y+12-y^2=6 y

Subtracting both sides by 6 y, we have,

-4y+12-y^2=0

Factoring the equation, we get,

(y+2)(y-6)=0

y=-2, y=6

The values of the variable y are y=-2, y=6

At the point y=-2, the equation \frac{6}{y-4}-\frac{y}{y+2}=\left(\frac{6}{y-4}\right)\left(\frac{y}{y+2}\right) becomes undefined.

Thus, the value of the variable y is y=6

Only the triangles in figures <u>5 are congruent</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Triangles are said to be congruent if:

  • 1. all three sides equal (SSS ---> side, side, side)
  • 2. two sides and the included angle of 2 triangles, are equal (SAS -> Side, Angle, Side)
  • 3. If the two angles and the included sides of the 2 triangles are equal (ASA -> Angle, Side, Angle)
  • 4. If the two angles and the non-included sides of 2 triangles are equal (AAS -> Angle, Angle, Side)

1. △ABC ≠ △DCE : not congruent

at least 3 parts (sides or angles) are compared, in the picture only 2 sides are compared

2. △ABC ≠ △XYZ : not congruent

the angles not includes between two sides

3. △RST ≠ △VUT : not congruent

a minimum of 3 parts (sides or angles) are compared, in the picture only 1 angle and 1 side are compared

4. △DEF ≠ △DHG :  not congruent

at least 3 parts (sides or angles) are compared, in the picture only 2 sides are compared

5. △JKL ≅ △KJM : congruent with ASA theorem

X > 10 Because if you remove the parenthesis and distribute 4 through the parentheses - 8x + 8 + 12. Then you add 8 and 12 which equals 20. Then you move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign. You calculate 100 - 20 which give you 80 and divide then which gives you 10.

Hopefully this helps! <3
