Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
Equation 1) 4x + 2y = 8
Equation 2) 16x - y = 14
Multiply all of equation 2 by 2.
2) 2(16x - y = 14)
2) 32x - 2y = 28
1) 4x + 2y = 8
Add equations together.
36x = 36
Divide both sides by 36.
x = 1
Plug in 1 for x in the first equation.
4x + 2y = 8
4(1) + 2y = 8
4 + 2y = 8
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2y = 8 - 4
2y = 4
Divide both sides by 2.
y = 4/2
y = 2
So, x = 1, y = 2

Answer:
Paul is correct 2 divided by 2 equals 1
Step-by-step explanation:
