Answers:

x = 5/2 = 2.5

y = 10

============================================

Explanation:

Focus on the smallest triangle and the medium sized triangle. We can form the proportion 2/4 = x/5 by dividing the corresponding sides together.

Solving for x leads us to the following

2/4 = x/5

2*5 = 4*x

10 = 4x

4x = 10

x = 10/4

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

-----------------

Now focus on the medium sized triangle and the largest triangle. We'll use the same idea as before

4/8 = 5/y

4y = 8*5

4y = 40

y = 40/4

y = 10

Note how each horizontal line is a midsegment, which means that jumping from y = 10 to 5 is us taking half of that value. Then going from 5 to x = 5/2 = 2.5 is another step of cutting in half.

Part A: Solve the equation 4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34, and show your work. (5 points)
nasty-shy [4]

The value of x in the equation 4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34 is 6 after solving and applying properties.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have equation:

4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34  (Given)

4x +20 = 9x + 4x − 34    (Distributive Property)

4x +20 +34 -4x = 9x + 4x − 34 + 34 -4x   (Subtraction Property of Equality)

54 = 9x + 4x − 34 + 34 -4x  (Addition Property of Equality)

54 = 9x  (Combine Like Terms)

x = 54/9   (Division Property of Equality)

x = 6

Thus, the value of x in the equation 4(x + 5) = 9x + 4x − 34 is 6 after solving and applying properties.
