Answer:
x = 3
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using theorem of similar triangles, we have,
(6 + x)/6 = (7 + 3.5)/7
(6 + x)/6 = 10.5/7
Cross multiply
7(6 + x) = 10.5(6)
42 + 7x = 63
7x = 63 - 42
7x = 21
x = 21/7
x = 3
Thus:
7.5/y = (7 + 3.5)/7
7.5/y = 10.5/7
Cross multiply
7.5*7 = 10.5*y
52.5 = 10.5*y
Divide both sides by 10.5
52.5/10.5 = y
y = 5

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 10
Discussion:
A plane triangle contains 180 degrees. Adding the angles in the triangle shown in #8 gives
(4x + 7) + (3x + 13) + 90 = 180
Note the "right angle" shown in the triangle has been replaced by its 90 degree equivalent in the above equation.
Combining like terms gives
( 4x + 3x) + (7 + 13) + 90 = 180
7x + 20 + 90 = 180 => (subtract 90 from each side)
7x + 20 + 90 - 90 = 180 - 90 = 90 =>
7x +20 = 90 => (subtract 20 from each side)
7x + 20 -20 = 90 -20 =>
7x = 70 =>
x 70/7 =10.
Thank you,
