Hi, thank you for posting your question.

This problem can be solved through ratio and proportion which can be applied to similar triangles like that shown in the figure. By ratio and proprotion,

MP/MN = MB/MA
81.9/67.2 = x/(67.2-32)

Thus, x = 42.9

Using Euler’s Formula (F + V = E + 2), find the number of edges. Faces: 25 Vertices: 17 Edges: ?

kirza4 [7]

F + V = E + 2
F = 25
V = 17

25 + 17 = E + 2
42 = E + 2
42 - 2 = E
40 = E <== there are 40 edges

Please help work this equation

Flauer [41]

Hi!

<u>Given these two equations:</u>

$x = y + 8$

$x + 4 = 2(y + 4)$

We want to solve using the substitution method. Knowing that x is equal to y + 8, we can simply plug in 'y + 8' in for x in the second equation, like so:

$(y+8)+4=2(y+4)$
