Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14
I'm assuming that y2 means y^2 or y squared. In that case, your factors will be (6y+1) and (6y-1).
Answer:
11.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
{ 3-y=2x
{ x+1/2y=3/2
{ -y=2x-3
{ 1/2y=3/2-x
{ y=-2x+3
{ y=3-2x
-2x+3=3-2x
(x,y) = (x,-2x+3)

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
( substitute in values )
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 1) = 72 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x - 1 = 6 ( add 1 to both sides )
x = 7

The parallel line segment SV is half of RW
that is x = 7.5
SV also divides the sides RT and WT in proportion, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
10y = 24 ( divide both sides by 10 )
y = 2.4
