According to the image, HKJ and FGH are similar, we can apply the theorem of thales
since GK and GF are parallels, so

HK / HF = HJ / HG = KJ / GF and as we see on the figure, HK = HF /2, this implies 2HK =HF

HK / 2HK = KJ / GF it is equivalent to 1/2 = 2y+5 / 5y +3

likewise, equivalent to 5y +3 = 4y +10, 5y-4y = 10-3, and y = 7

so the answer is 7

Solve algebraically:

vichka [17]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

$a)\ x_1=-9,\ x_2=9\\\\b)\ x_1=1,\ x_2=5$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<u>Given equations:</u>

$a)\ 2x^2 - 162 = 0\\\\b) -\dfrac{1}{2}(x-3)^2=-2$

A) 2x² - 162 = 0

Step 1: Divide both sides by 2.

<h3> $\\\implies \dfrac{2x^2 - 162}{2} = \dfrac{0}{2}\\\\\implies x^2-81=0\\\\\implies x^2=81$ </h3>

Step 2: Take the square root of both sides (using both the positive and negative roots).

$\\\implies \sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{81}\\\\\implies x=\pm\ 9$

Step 3: Separate into two cases.

$\implies x_1 = -9,\ x_2 =-9$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B) -1/2(x - 3)² = -2

Step 1: Multiply both sides by -2.

$\\\implies -2\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-3)^2\right)=-2(-2)\\\\\implies (x-3)^2=4$

Step 2: Take the square root of both sides (using both the positive and negative roots).

$\\\implies\sqrt{(x-3)^2}=\sqrt{4}\\\\\implies x-3=\pm\ 2$

Step 3: Separate into two cases and solve each one. $1)\ x-3=-2\implies x=-2+3\implies \boxed{x=1}\\\\2)\ x-3=2\implies x=2+3\implies \boxed{x=5}$

The solution to (d+4)^2=9 is D=

Allushta [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf d = -1 \ \ \ or \ \ \ d = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: d \: over \: the \: real \: numbers: \\ \sf \implies {(d + 4)}^{2} = 9 \\ \\ \sf Take \: the \: square \: root \: of \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \sqrt{ {(d + 4)}^{2} } = \sqrt{9} \\ \\ \sf 9 = {3}^{2} : \\ \sf \implies \sqrt{ {(d + 4)}^{2} } = \sqrt{ {(3)}^{2} } \\ \\ \sf \implies d + 4 = \pm 3 \\ \\ \sf \implies d + 4 = 3 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: d + 4 = - 3 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 4 \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies d + (4 - 4)= 3 - 4 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: d + (4 - 4) = - 3 - 4 \\ \\ \sf \implies d = - 1 \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: \: d = - 7$
