12x-4y=16
Isolate Y:
Subtract 12x from both sides
-4y=-12x+16
Divide by -4
y=3x-4
Therefore the slope is 3
Use Pythagorean theory
C^2 = a^+ b^2
In this case you have c and a
B^2= c^2-a^2
B^2 = 12^2-5^2
B^2= 144-25
B^2 = 119
Square root both sides
X= 10.90871
Answer: x = 5.625
Step-by-step explanation: The triangles are similar; the side lengths of the large triangle are proportional to the lengths of the small triangle. The corresponding parts are proportional.
Use proportion. The total length of side FV is 16.
6:16 = x:15 . or 6/16=x/15
cross multiply 15 × 6 = 90, then divide 90/16
90/16 = x
5.625 = x
8.5b.
7a= 5a +3b
-5a -5a
2a = 3b
/2
a= 1.5b
Solve by substitution and you get;
8.5b=8.5b
Because of the lack of constants in the equation there isn't a definite answer.
