Answer:

w = 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two similar right triangles. Similar triangles have proportional corresponding sides.

Write a proportion between triangles' legs:

$\dfrac{12}{12+4}=\dfrac{w}{12}\\ \\ \\\dfrac{12}{16}=\dfrac{w}{12}$

Cross multiply:

$16\cdot w=12\cdot 12\\ \\16w=144\\ \\w=\dfrac{144}{16}\\ \\w=9$

1.6x=1.28<br> help me solve this

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sure! So, we need to divide by 1.6 on each side to isolate the x.

1.6x / 1.6 is just x. We need to divide by the same on the other side too!

1.28 / 1.6 is 0.8.

So x = 0.8

x=-6, y=-2 then

x+y=-6-2=-8
