To find x we would make x-y=15 into x=15+y so we can have an equation for x. We plug in for x in the other equation and we have -(15+y)+5y=13. We distribute the - sign to get -15-y+5y=13. We subtract a y from 5y and we have -15+4y=13. We add 15 to both sides to cancel out the negative 15. We get 4y=28. We divide by 4 to both sides to cancel out multiplying by 4. We get y as 7. Now, to get x we simply look back at the equation x-y=15. We plug 7 making x-7=15. Instead of subtracting we add 7 to both sides and we get x as 22. Therefore, x is 22 and y is 7

The two triangles are similar.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar since each triangle is the same shape of right triangle but different sizes. To find x, write a proportion between two equal ratios of side lengths.

$\frac{28}{20}=\frac{4x+2}{3x}$

Solve by cross multiplying.

28(3x) = 20(4x+2)

84x = 80x + 40

4x = 40

x=10

F(x)

Ludmilka [50]

F(x) = 5 + 2x where x is the number of times he walks the neighbours dog
y-intercept is at y=5 and slope = 2

g(x) :- As x increases by 4 g(x) decreases by -8 so the slope is -8/4 = -2
when x = 0, g(x) = the y intercept is at -1 + (-8/2) = - 5
so equation of g(x) is g(x) = -5 -2x
h(x):- the slope is (3 - 5) / (1 - 0) [ difference in y values / diff in x values]
slope = -2
so we have h(x) = -2x + c where c = the y-intercept
when x = 0 h(x) = 5
so c = 5
h(x) = 5 - 2x

Now j(x)= 2x - 5 - slope is 2 and y intercept = -5
