To solve a proportion you would cross multiply.
(4/5) = (14/x)
5(14) = 4x
70 = 4x
divide both sides by 4
17.5 = x

Answer:

x = 1.25

y = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the line that is 8 units long is parallel to the line that is ten units long.

Therefore, both the triangles are similar by AA postulate.

Corresponding sides of of the similar triangles are in proportion.

Therefore,

\frac{5}{x + 5}  =  \frac{7}{y + 7}  =  \frac{8}{10}  \\  \\  \implies \frac{5}{x + 5}  =  \frac{8}{10}  \\  \\ 5 \times 10 = 8(x + 5) \\  \\ 50 = 8x + 40 \\  \\ 50 - 40 = 8x \\  \\ 10 = 8x \\  \\  \frac{10}{8}  = x \\  \\ x = 1.25 \\  \\  \\ \frac{7}{y + 7}  =  \frac{8}{10} \\  \\ 7 \times 10 = 8(y + 7) \\  \\ 70 = 8y + 56 \\  \\ 70 - 56 = 8y \\  \\ 14 = 8y \\  \\  \frac{14}{8}  = y \\  \\ y = 1.75

Answer:

18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the two triangles.

1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25

Find the area of the two top rectangles: 2.5 * 1.7 * 2 = 8.5

Finally, find the area of the floor: 1.5 * 2.5 = 3.75

2.25 + 8.5 + 7.75 = 18.5

If the probability of rain is 31%. What is the probability of it not raining?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

69%

What is the y value in the solution to this system of linear equations?
Travka [436]

Answer:

The y-value is -20

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's solve this by Elimination method;

-2(4x + 5y = -12)

4(2x + 3y = -16)

Let's Distribute;

-8x - 10y = 24

8x + 12y = -64

So x cancels out because -8 + 8 = 0

-10y + 12y = 2y

24 - 64 = -40

2y = -40

Divide both sides by 2;

y = -20

Now lets plug in y to find the value of x;

4x + 5(-20) = -12

4x - 100 = -12

Add 100 to both sides;

4x = 88

Divide both sides by 4;

x = 22
