You can see if they are similar by looking at the sides.
If each of the sides have the same proportion then they are similar.
24/3 = 8
32/4 = 8
112/14 = 8
Yes they are similar and their ratio is 1:8
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
(x, y) = (77/240, -3/10)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is convenient to write the equations in standard form.
Multiplying the first equation by 21 gives ...
21y = 24x -14
Multiplying the second equation by 8 gives ...
24x +9y = 5
Then the system of equations in standard form is ...
Subtracting the first from the second, we get ...
(24x +9y) -(24x -21y) = (5) -(14)
30y = -9
y = -9/30 = -3/10
Substituting this into the second equation, we have ...
24x +9(-3/10) = 5
24x = 7.7 . . . . . . . add 27/10
x = 7.7/24 = 77/240
The solution is (x, y) = (77/240, -3/10).
I hope this helps you
