X = 2, y = 4.5 (if you make (5y-8=3y+1) and (x+6=4x) and solve you get these answers.
It depends on which triangle it actually is
Triangle ABC:
AB=2
BC=x+5
CA=x+7
Triangle XYZ:
XY=4
YZ=?
ZX=4x-2
x=?
XY/AB=ZX/CA
4/2=(4x-2)/(x+7)
Simpliying:
2=(4x-2)/(x+7)
Solving for x: Cross multiplication:
2(x+7)=(4x-2)
2x+14=4x-2
2x+14-2x+2=4x-2-2x+2
16=2x
16/2=2x/2
8=x
x=8
Answer: The value of x is 8
Answer:
y= 5/8x
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says y is it typically means y=.
When it says 5/8 of a number or of a variable it means that number times that variable.
Hope this helps!
