Answer: x = 2.65, y = 3.81
Step-by-step explanation:
ABC similar to PQR
1) Find the ratio of corresponding sides
2) Use that ratio to find values for x & y
1) Side AB = 2.76cm & Side PR = <em>y</em><em> </em>cm
Side BC = <em>x</em> cm & Side RQ = 3.66 cm
Side CA = 3 cm & Side QP = 4.14 cm (both lengths given)
Can match 3 to 4.14 & ratio of sides in ABC to PQR= 3 /4.14
Length of sides ABC = 3/4.14 times the length of sides PQR
2) x = (3 / 4.14) * 3.66 = 2.65
Now solve for y, ABC to PQR: 2.76 = (3 / 4.14) (<em>y </em>)
<em>equality property</em> (both sides) & inverse operation to isolate <em>y : </em> . 2.76 ÷ (3 / 4.14) = (3 / 4.14 ) ÷ (3 / 4.14) (<em>y</em><em>)</em>
2.76 * (4.14 / 3) = 3 / 4.14 * (4.14 / 3) (<em>y</em><em>)</em>
(2.76 * 1.38 ) = 3.81 = <em>y</em>

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
x + 2y = 27 → (1)
2x + 3y = 46 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides
x = 27 - 2y ← substitute into (2)
2(27 - 2y) + 3y = 46
54 - 4y + 3y = 46
54 - y = 46 ( subtract 54 from both sides )
- y = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = 8 → D
