8 0

Answer:

x = 5/4

y = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and the larger one are similar, so the sides are proportional.

(x+5)/5 = 10/8

x/5 + 1 = 1/4 + 1 . . . . . divide it out

x/5 = 1/4 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1

x = 5/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5

___

For y, you can do exactly the same computations, replacing every instance of 5 with a 7. Then you get ...

y = 7/4

Answer:

m-9

Step-by-step explanation:

m-9

The one way is the way it is given in the problem m minus nine

However it can also be written by interchanging the position of each term , but while interchanging we have to carry their sign along with them also.

Hence m can be taken on the left but with its + sign

and 9 can be taken in the right but with its sign that is -

Hence

m-9 can also be written as
