VK = VY+YK by the segment addition postulate. Basically adding two segments along a straight line forms a longer segment. In this case, VY and YK combine to form VK

Since VK = x and VY = 22, this means...
VK = VY+YK 
x = 22+YK 
x-22 = YK
YK = x-22

-----------------------------------------------------

Notice the arc marks where the point T is located. These markings tell us that the two angles VTY and YTK are congruent angles. Because of this, we can use the angle bisector theorem which says that the ratio of the corresponding sides are congruent.

In short, we can form this ratio
VT/VY = KT/KY
which is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle, to the side opposite the angle

Plug in the given values and solve for x
VT/VY = KT/KY
77/22 = 87.5/(x-22)
77(x-22) = 22*87.5
77(x-22) = 1925
77x-77*22 = 1925
77x-1694 = 1925
77x = 1925+1694
77x = 3619
x = 3619/77
x = 47

Answer: 47

The cost y (in dollars) to rent a camping tent is proportional to the number x of days that the tent is rented. It costs $56 to
sleet_krkn [62]
This is the concept of algebra, we solve the question as follows:
The cost of renting a camping tent is y
The number of days is x
cost is proportional to number of days, thus:
yαx
y=kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
If y=$56 when x=7 days, then:
56=7k
hence:
k=56/7=8
therefore:
y=kx will be:
y=8x
the equation in slope intercept form which is y=mx+c is y=8x. In our case c=0 because there was no initial payments required to rent apart from the daily charges.
