adding the 2 equations eliminates x and gives:-

5y = 60

y = 12

Plug y = 12 into the first equation:-

2x + 3(12) = 40

2x = 40 - 36 = 4 so x = 2

Answer is x = 2 and y = 12.

What is the value of x? A. 2 Units B. 3 Units C. 5 Units D. 8 Units

Fudgin [204]

You need the formula for geometric mean for right triangles as it applies to the altitude. For us, that formula will be $\frac{BD}{AD}=\frac{CD}{BD}$ where BD is your altitude. The formula then, filled in accordingly, would be $\frac{10}{x}=\frac{4x}{10}$ . We cross multiply to get that $4x^2=100$ . Divide both sides by 4 to get $x^2=25$ , so x = 5. Choice C is the one you want.
