We have similar triangles, so equal ratios

5:7:8 = 5+x : 7 + y : 10

Equal ratios mean the corresponding pairs are related by constant factor f,

f = \dfrac{5+x}{5} = \dfrac{7+y}{7} = \dfrac{10}{8}

So f= 10/8 = 5/4 and

5f = 5+x

x = 5(5/4) - 5 = 25/4  - 20/4= 5/4

7f = 7 + y

y = 7f - 7 = 7(f - 1) = 7(5/4 - 1) = 7/4

Answer: x=5/4, y=7/4

Check:

5/4 + 5  : 7/4 + 7 : 10 = 5+20 : 7+28 : 40  = 25:35:40 =5:7:8  good

M: -1/2 Point: (-1, 3) Solve for y=mx+b<br> Help
ohaa [14]

Answer:

y= (-1/2)x+(5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation point slope

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

y-3 = -1/2(x+1) add -3 to both sides and distribute

y=( -x/2) +(-1/2)+3 rewrite 3 as 6/2

y=(-1/2)x +(-1+6/2) solve

y= (-1/2)x+(5/2)

A box contains 17 marbles, 13 blue marbles, and 23 white marbles. What is the part-whole ratio of red marbles in the box.
sergij07 [2.7K]
Since the ratio is part-Whole, first you need to find the whole. If you add all of the marble colors together (17+13+23) you get the total marbles (53) in the box. The ratio of red marbles to the total would be 17 to 53.

In the United States, 30% of people own a cat and 3% of people own a bird. What is the probability of someone owning both a cat
Alex777 [14]

Answer: 9/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of people own a cat:

P(cat)=30/100=0.3

Probability of people own a bird:

P(bird)=3/100=0.03

Probability of both own a cat and a bird

P(cat and bird)=(30/100) × (3/100)

=90/1000=9/100=9%
