Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
the two triangles formed from c are similar which means the sides are proportional
the proportion of one length of a side of a triangle to a similar side of the other triangle is the same as another side to its corresponding side of the other triangle. god im bad explaining stuff
anyway 2 is to 8 what 2.5 is to length BC. 2/8 = 2.5/x
-crossmultiplyyy
2*x = 2.5*8
2x = 20
2x/2 = 20/2
x = 10
If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).
In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)
2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)
a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)
4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1
a = 6 + -2 = 4.
So a=4 and b=-1.
