Y = kx
Plug in what we know:
5 = k(8)
5 = 8k
Divide 8 to both sides:
k = 0.625
Plug this back into the equation along with y = 15:
y = kx
15 = 0.625x
Divide 0.625 to both sides:
x = 24
Hello there! :D
Find the scale of the sides.
40/5=8 (the longer side is 8 times bigger than the shorter one)
3*8= 24
2x+10=24
Subtract 10 on both sides.
2x=14
Divide by two on both sides.
x=7
I hope this helps!
