Answer:

OXY=18

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of AABC to AAXY is 4:3 so the lengths will be in that ratio too. The ratio of BC:XY is 4:3. BC is 24 so 24:XY is 4:3. You need to divide 24 by 6 to get 4 so multiply 3 by 6 to get the answer 18.

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution 2x-y=6 x=y-1

Oksana_A [137]

substitute x for y-1
2(y-1)-y=6 distribute
2y-2-y=6 subtract y in 2y
y-2=6 add 2 to get y by itself
y=8

Put y back into equation x=y-1
x=8-1
X=7
