In this problem, you have already shown the solution.
24 = 3y - 6 => 30 = 3y, y =10
12 = 5x + 2 => 10 = 5x , x = 2
And yes, basically parallel sides must have the same length
These are the answers:
for 17.) x = 2
y = 10
for 18.) mid segment = (side 1 + side 2) / 2 -->
19 = (24 + side2) / 2 -->
38 = 24 + side2,
thus, side 2 = 14 units
Answer:
Calories for 19 is 75, 100
Servings for 19 is 12/3,
Oxygen for 20 is 16/15
Time (minute) for 20 is 4/4, 5/4

Answer:
Only b is correctly simplified.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
The two triangles are similar since each triangle is the same shape of right triangle but different sizes. To find x, write a proportion between two equal ratios of side lengths.

Solve by cross multiplying.
28(3x) = 20(4x+2)
84x = 80x + 40
4x = 40
x=10
