Here, DH = HF 

x+3 = 3y

x = 3y-3   ----(I)

GH = HE

4x-5 = 2y+3

4x = 2y+8

Substitute value of x,

4(3y-3) = 2y+8

12y-12 = 2y+8

12y-2y = 12+8

10y = 20

y = 2

Now, substitute it in equation 1,

x = 3(2)-3

x = 6-3 = 3

So, your final answer is      x=3  & y=2

Ince DH=HF you set x+3=3y 
<span>GH=HE so 4x-5=2y+3 </span>

<span>This gives you a system and I solved by substitution so I got x alone in the first equation-> x=3y-3 </span>
<span>then I plugged this x into the second equation so </span>

<span>4(3y-3)-5=2y+3 </span>
<span>12y-12-5=2y+3 </span>
<span>12y-17=2y+3 </span>
<span>10y=20 </span>
<span>y=2 </span>

<span>plug y into the first equation to find x </span>
<span>x=3(2)-3 </span>
<span>x=6-3 </span>
<span>x=3 </span>

<span>therefore x=3, y=2</span>

14. Jabari has read 13 chapters of a 22-chapter book.<br> What percent of the chapters has she read?
Doss [256]

Jabari has read 59.09 percent of the chapters.

What is a percent?

A percentage is a figure or ratios that is stated as a portion of 100 in arithmetic. Although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct.", and frequently "pc" are also employed the percent symbol is most frequently used to indicate it. A percentage is a number without dimensions. It lacks a measuring system. The Latin phrase per centum, which states "hundred" or "by the hundred," is where the word "percent" originates. The Italian phrase percento, which means "for a hundred," gradually sqeezed to become the symbol for "percent." Per became frequently shortened to "p" and finally vanished completely. Two circles and a horizontal line made up the "cento," which is where the present "%" sign is from.

Jabari read 13 chapters out of 22

In percents = 13/22 x 100 percent

                    = 59.09 percent
