Answer:
D: New York City is the correct answer
Answer:
48 yr. old
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume daughter is 4 and mom is 10 times her age, so mom is 40.
10 (woman) * 4 (daughter's age) = 40 yr. old mom
Present day...
40 (yr old mom) + 8 (yrs later) = 48 yr. old mom today
4 (yr old daughter) + 8 (yrs later) = 12 yr. old daughter today
So, if mom is 4 times as her daughter's age today...
48 (yr. old mom) / 12 (yr. old daughter) = 4
In the given diagram, the traingles USW and UTV are similar triangles and thus the following ratio equality applies to them.
..........(Equation 1)
Checking the diagram given, we see that:
VT=y, WS=22, VU=8, ST=x-2
WU=WV+VU=12+8=20
TU=5
SU=ST+TU=(x-2)+5=x+3
Thus, substituting the required values in (Equation 1) we get:

Now, as can be clearly seen, to find y we will use the first two ratios as:


In a similar manner, to find the value of x we can use the last two ratios:

After cross multiplication we get:

Which can be simplified as:

Thus, 
Therefore, the required answer is:
x=9.5 and y=8.8
