Answer:

x = 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x if ...

y = k/x

The constant k can be found from ...

xy = k

For the given point, ...

2·8 = k = 16

The relation is symmetrical, so we also have ...

x = k/y = 16/3 . . . . substituting the value at the second given point

The missing value is 16/3.

I’m confused on this one

Mandarinka [93]

Remark

If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP

From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.

PQ = 8

QR = 5

RS = 15

ST = x + 3

Ratio

QR/RP = RS/RT

Sub and solve

RP = 5 + 8

RP = 13

RT = 15 + x + 3

RT = 18 + x

5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply

5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.

90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.

5x = 105 Divide by 5

x = 105/5
