Answer:
21.6 or 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles have same angles. This means that they are proportion.
50/27 = 40/x
when you cross multiply to solve x, 50x = 1080
so x = 21.6
If you have to nearest whole number, it will be 22
Steps:
1. Multiply the first line by 3 and the second by 2
3(3x + 2y= 4)
2(8x -3y=-6)
2. New lines are
9x + 6y= 12
16x + -6y=-12
3. Now add/subtract them
25x + 0= 0
25x=0
4. Divide by 25
X=0
5. To find y, substitute the 0 in the x in one of the equations
9x + 6y= 12
9(0) + 6y= 12
6y= 12
6. Divide by 6, your Y=2
7. X=0, Y=2
