Answer:

The values of x and y are x = 3 and y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The isosceles triangle has two equal sides in length, and its base angles are equal in measures

In ΔJKL

∵ ΔJKL is an isosceles triangle with vertex K

→ That means the equal sides are JK and KL

∴ JK = KL

∵ JK = 8x and KL = 13x - 15

→ Equate them

∴ 13x - 15 = 8x

→ Add 15 to both sides

∵ 13x - 15 + 15 = 8x + 15

∴ 13x = 8x + 15

→ Subtract 8x from both sides

∵ 13x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 15

∴ 5x = 15

→ Divide both sides by 5 to find x

∴ x = 3

∵ K is the vertex of the ΔJKL

∴ ∠KJL and ∠KLJ are the base angles

∵ The base angles are equal in measures

∴ m∠KJL = m∠KLJ

∵ m∠KJL = 5y - 3

∴ m∠KLJ = 5y - 3

∵ The sum of the measures of the angles of a Δ is 180°

∴ m∠KJL + m∠KLJ + m∠JKL = 180°

∵ m∠JKL = 76°

→ Substitute the measures of the 3 angles in the equation

∴ 5y - 3 + 5y - 3 + 76 = 180

→ Add the like terms on the left side

∵ (5y + 5y) + (76 - 3 - 3) = 180

∴10y + 70 =180

→ Subtract 70 from both sides

∵ 10y + 70 - 70 = 180 - 70

∴ 10y = 110

→ Divide both sides by 10 to find y

∴ y = 11

∴ The values of x and y are x = 3 and y = 11

What is the measure of b if a=20 and c=29. using the pythagorean theorem ​
kicyunya [14]

Since a^2+b^2=c^2 becomes 20^2+b^2=29^2, we solve for b:

400+b^2=841

b^2=441

b=21

So the length of b is 21 units.

Hope this helped!

HELP!! PLEASE!!! THANK YOU!!
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

C. 8x - 3y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7 - 3(x - y) = 5x + 2

Standard form: Ax + By = C

7 -3x + 3y = 5x + 2

7 -8x + 3y = 2

-8x + 3y = -5

Divide by -1 to each number

8x - 3y = 5

A pilot traveling 175 miles per hour encounters a head wind of 35 knots. If there are 1.15 knots per mph, what will her true spe
KonstantinChe [14]
Since one knot is 1.15 mph.
We multiply 35 time 1.15, which equals 40.25 mph.
Then we subtract. 175 - 4.25 = 134.75
Round, and you'll get 135mph
Therefore, your answer is 135mph
