Answer:
y =20
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to get the y by itself so what you do on one side you do to the other. subtract 12 on both sides and you get y=20

Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is
5(x - 6 + 5) = 4(x - 3 + 4)
5(x - 1) = 4(x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
5x - 5 = 4x + 4 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
x - 5 = 4 ( add 5 to both sides )
x = 9
Explanation:
To find x we need to find the unknown side that connects the two triangles using the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c² (c is always hypotenuse)
So:
a² + 6² = 9²
a² = 9² - 6²
a² = 81 - 36
a² = 45
a = sqrt45
Now we do the same thing for the other triangle:
x² + 5² = sqrt45²
x² + 25 = 45
x² = 20
x = 2√5 or 4.5...
