Question

How do I solve for x and y? ​

Answer 1

8/20=y/25
(0.4=y/25)*25
Y= 10
__________
8/20=(x+4)/15
0.4*15=x+4
6=x+4
X=2

Answer 2

Answer:

x=2  y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar so we can use ratios to solve

15            20

-----  = -------------

x+4         8

Using cross products

8*15 = 20 (x+4)

120 = 20(x+4)

Divide each side by 20

120/20 = 20(x+4)/20

6 = x+4

Subtract 4 from each side

6-4 = x+4-4

2 =x

25            20

-----  = -------------

y           8

Using cross products

25*8 = 20y

200 =20y

Divide by 20

200/20 = 20y/20

10=y
