Look at the picture.
ΔZYX and ΔDYC are similar. Therefore the lengths of sides are in proportion:

DC = x
ZX = 16
DY = a
ZY = a + a = 2a
Substitute:

<em>multiply both sides by 16</em>

<h3>Answer: CD = 8</h3>
Answer:
Sample 2.
Step-by-step explanation: Trust
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 8x from both sides.
5x+6−8x=8x+12−8x
−3x+6=12
Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.
−3x+6−6=12−6
−3x=6
Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.
−3x
−3
=
6
−3
x=−2
30/7 +30/7=60/7
60/7-22/7=38/7
59/7 -38/7=21/7
21/7 -19/7=2/7
Answer:
y = 10-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y=10
y=10-2x
