5a - 10*3 = 45
5a - 30 = 45
5a = 45 + 30
5a = 75
a = 15
Answer:
y = -2/9 |X| - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not certain whether the -7 is part of the |X| or it's just out of the equation. But shifting an equation up or down is very intuitive.
If you want to move an equation up a certain unit, you just add that many units (positive) onto the end of an equation. The same goes for moving a unit down, where you subtract that many units you want to go down.
When a transversal cuts (or intersects) parallel lines several pairs of congruent and supplementary angles are formed.
Answer:
x=4
y=4√5
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up 3 right triangles and mark their respective angles. The largest will have sides (in typical a,b,c[hypotenuse] order) y, z, and 10. The middle 8, x, and y. The smallest x, 2, and z.
Then since they are all similar triangles, using the midde and smaller triangles, set up the proportionin which both A sides when divided are equal to the B sides.
So 8/x = x/2
Cross multiply and get 16=x^2.
The square root of 16 is 4, so x is 4.
Then using the larger and middle triangles, do the same for the A and C sides.
So y/8 = 10/y.
Cross multiply and get 80=y^2.
Find the square root of it, which since it doesn't have a perfect square, you use a calculator or the whatever theorem and get √4*4*5 or simply 4√5.
So x = 4 and y = 4√5
