Answer:
is this by any chance about simultaneous equations? If so,
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 is telling us to decide on whether x and y should be the unknown. For instance, you want x to be the unknown, so u solve for x.
Step 2 is telling us to write equations with x and y.
For example,
7x + 5y = 12
7x - 2y = 9
This may not be accurate but it is an equation.
Step 4 is telling us to check whether the solution is accurate or not. For instance, we say 7 is x. so we substitude 7 into the original equation to see whether the answer we found is correct.
For step 5, im not really sure.
hope this helps though???
Do you have a picture of the diagram?
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar the ratios of corresponding sides are equal
= 
, that is
= ( cross- multiply )
20(4x + 2) = 84x
80x + 40 = 84x ( subtract 80x from both sides )
40 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 10
The answer to this question has to be 8
