A=a+b+c+d/4
subtract a from both sides
0=b+c+d/4
Subtract b from both sides
-b=c+d/4
Finally subtract d/4 from both sides
c=-d/4-b
There is NO solution.
Cancel t on both sides (1/5 = 7/8).
Since 1/5 = 7/8, that doesn't make any sense so that is inapplicable ( So NO answer).
Answer:
x = -1, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
6 + 4x - 2y = 0 (1)
-3 - 7y = 10x (2)
From (1)
6 + 4x - 2y = 0 (1)
4x - 2y = -6 (3)
From (2)
-3 - 7y = 10x (2)
10x + 7y = -3 (4)
4x - 2y = -6 (3)
10x + 7y = -3 (4)
Using elimination method
Multiply (3) by 10 and (4) by 4 to eliminate x
40x - 20y = -60
40x + 28y = -12
28y - (-20y) = -12 - (-60)
28y + 20y = -12 + 60
48y = 48
y = 48/48
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into (3)
4x - 2y = -6 (3)
4x - 2(1) = -6
4x - 2 = -6
4x = -6 + 2
4x = -4
x = -4/4
x = -1
x = -1, y = 1
The value of x in the equation is -1
The ratio of the shortest sides is 12/5. Multiplying the other two sides of the smaller triangle by that ratio gives 15 and 18, so the ratios of all sides are the same. The triangles are similar.
ABC ~ ZYX
The largest/smallest scale factor is 12/5 = 2.4.
The answer to this problem is -0.66666
