Can someone help me answer this question ( moderators this is not a copy, the other ones got erased so go away)

Triangles ABC and ADE are similar triangles. That means the sides are all scaled by the same factor.

To go from side BC to side DE, you multiply by 1.25. That means 1.25 is your scale factor. Now apply that factor to the bottom side to get your answer.

Side AB is 6. That means side AD is 6 x 1.25 = 7.5. That means x = 7.5 - 6 = 1.5

Two numbers have an average of 18, and a difference of 10. Form two equations and solve them to find these
Troyanec [42]
Answer: x = 23 and y = 13

Explanation:

let x and y be the two number.

Where:

(x + y)/2 = 18 => x + y = 18 x 2 = 36

and:

x - y = 10

Thus we get:

x + y = 36 (1)
x - y = 10 (2)

Add (1) and (2):
x + y + x - y = 36 + 10
2x = 46
x = 23

If x = 23

then x - y = 10
23 - y = 10
-y = -13
y = 13
