Answer:
yay tysmm also good morning
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay first set a comparison since the two triangles are similar
x-1/20=x-1+27/3x+8
x-1/20 = x+26/3x+8
cross multiply
20x+520=3x^2+8x-3x-8
3x^2-15x-528=0
3(x^2-5x-176)=0
im kinda lazy to factor this out so i used an online calculator right here but factor it out like a good kid
x=16, x=-11
it has to be positive so x=16
C
The value of b is the y intercept or when the line crosses the y axis
this only happens when the value of x=0
so just look for the ordered pair in the table with x=0 and y=b
so if you had a table and saw
(0,3)
(x,y)
so the point where x=0 is at point (0,3) y=3
therefor b=3
basically look for the matching y value for when x=0
