Answer:

B. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the value of x

The side lengths of two similar triangles are always proportional.

Given that ∆ABC ~ ∆LMN, therefore:

\frac{AB}{LM} = \frac{AC}{LN}

AB = 5

LM = 10

AC = x + 5

LN = 3x + 3

Plug in the values

\frac{5}{10} = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 3}

Cross multiply

5(3x + 3) = 10(x + 5)

15x + 15 = 10x + 50 (distributive property)

Collect like terms

15x - 10x = -15 + 50

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5

x = 7

✔️Find AC

AC = x + 5

Plug in the value of x

AC = 7 + 5

AC = 12

One number is 6 more than a second number, the sum of the two numbers is 330. what are the numbers?
maksim [4K]

Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>.  We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.

We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.

We also know that 330 = x + y.

Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.

Now all we need to do is simplify the equation.  First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

330 - 6 = 324

2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.

So we have 324 = 2y.  Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:

162 = y

Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:

x = 162 + 6

x = 168

Let's check to make sure our answer is right.  168 is 6 more than 162.  162 + 168 equals 330.  So our two numbers are 168 and 162.
