Answer:

x = 4

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles being similar means the side ratios are the same.

AB/FD = BC/DE and AB/FD = CA/EF

12/3 = (3x+8)/5 and 12/3 = 28/(y+5)

Multiplying by 5, the first equation becomes ...

20 = 3x +8

12 = 3x . . . . . . subtract 8

4 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Multiplying by (y+5)/4, the second equation becomes ...

y +5 = 28/4

y = 2 . . . . . . . . subtract 5

Teacher will have 3 bottles of glue after he combines

Solution:

Given that,

The art teacher has 7 bottles of glue that are each 2/5 full

He combines them so he will have fewer bottles

To find: bottles of glue does he have after he combines them

From given,

Total bottles = 7

Each is 2/5 full

Therefore, multiply 7 with 2/5 to get total bottles of glues he will have after combining

$Number\ of\ bottles\ of\ glues = 7 \times \frac{2}{5}\\\\Number\ of\ bottles\ of\ glues = \frac{14}{5} = 2.8 \approx 3$

Thus teacher will have 3 bottles of glue after he combines

2nd way: 3*2oz+2*3oz=12oz
3rd way: 4*2oz+4oz=12oz
4th way: 2*2oz+2*4oz=12oz
5th way: 4*3oz=12oz
6th way: 2*3oz+2oz+4oz=12oz
7th way: 3*4oz=12oz
Stuart can combine 2oz, 3oz and 4oz weigths 7 different ways to get 12oz.
