X=7. The two segments on the bottom as well as on the diagonal are the same length. This shows that the entire triangle and the inner triangle on the right are similar. So if we call the length of the bottom 2y, then 84/2y=6x/y. Solving this we get 84=12x, and so x=7
Subtract a from both sides of the equation.
b=−a+14
Answer: 10 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 2 Plug in 4 for x
3(4) - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10
5x + 6. Plug in -2 for x
5(-2) + 6 = -10 + 6 = -4
Add them all together the divide what you get by 5
