Question

Try to find x & y. I need it so much please

Answer 1

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
