We can form two ratios to help us solve this:

(2x+6):10 = (x+6):8

(2x+6) (x+6)
--------- = --------
10 8

Cross multiply:
8(2x+6) = 10(x+6)

Foil:
16x + 48 = 10x + 60

Move like variables to the same side:
16x - 10x = 60 - 48
6x = 12
x = 2

Line AE = 2x+6
Plug 2 for x into the equation: 2(2) + 6 = 10

Hope this helps, and May the Force Be With You!

Solve the system by substitution.<br> -8x – 7y = -5<br> -x = y

Lapatulllka [165]

Substitute y = -x into the first equation:

-8x - 7(-x) = -5

-8x + 7x = -5

-x = -5

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into y = -x

y = -(5)

y = -5

Answer: x = 5, y = -5
