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

The table shows the number of games a chess player won in professional competitions, based on the number of games played.
AfilCa [17]

slope  = (25-4)/(30-10)

 slope = 21/20

slope =21/20  

using point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = 21/20 (x-10)

y = 21/20x -21/2 +4

y = 21/20 x -21/2 +8/2

y = 21/20x -13/2


let x=40

y = 21/20 (40) -13/2

y = 42-13/2

y = 35.5 games


If we round the slope to 1

slope =1

using point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = 1 (x-10)

y = 1x -10 +4

y =  x -6


let x=40

y = 40-6

y = 34 games

Aneesha travels at a rate of 50 miles per hour. Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha. Which is the best estim
goldfiish [28.3K]
If Aneesha travels at a rate of 
50 miles............................1h 
and  1mile=5280ft,     therefore 50 miles = 264000 ft
and 1 h =3600 seconds we can say that Aneesha travels

264,000 ft in 3600 seconds or 
264,000/3600= 73.33 ft/s

Morris travels 3 ft per second less than her
so 73.33-3=70.33 ft/s for  Morris

Last winter, Tom earned $47.50 shoveling snow and $122 giving ice-skating lessons. During the summer, he earned twice as much by
siniylev [52]
You would have to add 47.50 + 122 to get 169.5 dollars. to get the amount of money he made in the summer, you would have to multiply 169.5 by 2 which would equal 339 dollars. so he made 339 dollars over the summer :)
