ANSWER
EXPLANATION
According to the distributive property,
This implies that,
The Right Hand Side of the equation now has 2 factors.
We solve now to obtain;
The larger number is 6 and the smaller one is 2.
Let Kaya's savings be 30x and Edgardo's savings be 35x
If they both started saving at the same time:
f(x)=30x
f(x)=35x
Now, sub in values for x in to the function starting with 0. Subtract y2-y1 and x2-x1 for both functions.
For slope: m=y2-y1/x2-x1
so your result will be m=30/1=30 for f(x) = 30x
and m=35/1=35 for f(x) = 35x
so the slopes are m=30 and m=35 respectively!
So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.
