1) You have vertical angles here. This means the big and small triangles are similar, meaning the ratio of corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal.

In this case, 32cm corresponds to 4cm and 40cm corresponds to x. To find x, set up the ratio as follows: 4/32 = x/40.

4/32 can be reduce to 1/8. Multiply each side by 40 to isolate x. you get 1/8 * 40

This yields x = 5 cm

2) set up a proportion, similar to the first question.

(x + 4)/8 = (2x + 1)/12
12(x + 4) = 8(2x + 1)
12x + 48 = 16x + 8
40 = 4x
x = 10

the length of BC is (x + 4) + (2x + 1) = 3x + 5

this means BC = 35

Assuming none of the factors is zero, if an odd number of the factors of a multiplication problem have negative signs, then the product will be negative. Otherwise, the product is positive.

Assuming the dividend of a division problem is non-zero, the quotient wil be negative if the signs of the dividend and divisor are differnt. Otherwise the quotient is positive.

In short, if a multiplication or division problem involves an odd number of minus signs, the result will be negative. Otherwise, the result is positive.

Answer:

$y = \frac{ - 3x + 6}{2} = \\ x = 4 \\ y = \frac{ - 3 \times 4 + 6}{2} = \frac{ - 12 + 6}{2} = \frac{ - 6}{2} = - 3$
