Answer:

The solution to the proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5} is y=\frac{40}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5}

WE have to find the solution for the given proportion.

Consider the given proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5}.

Cross multiply the terms, we get,

5 (3y - 8) = 12( y )

Simply the terms by multiplying 5 by each term in brackets, we get,

15y - 40 = 12y

taking y terms one sides, we get,

15y - 12y = 40

On simplifying , we get,

3y = 40

Divide both side by 3, we have,

y=\frac{40}{3}

Thus, the solution to the proportion \frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5} is y=\frac{40}{3}

\displaystyle\\
 \frac{3y-8}{12} = \frac{y}{5}  \\  \\ 
5(3y-8)=12y\\\\
15y-40=12y\\\\
3y = 40\\\\
\boxed{y =  \frac{40}{3}}

Point D is on line segment \overline{CE}
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

DE = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point D is on line segment CE.

DE = x+10, CD=6 and CE=3x

We need to find the length of DE.

ATQ,

CE = CD + DE

Putting all the values,

3x = 6 + x+10

Taking like terms together

3x-x = 16

2x = 16

x = 8

DE = x+10

= 8+10

= 18

Hence, the length of DE is 18.
