Answer:

x = 5

y = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

the median and the base of the large triangle are parallel so angle y has the same measure as the one labeled as 40°

the median is half the base of the large triangle, so 5x = 8x + 10/2

cross-multiply: 10x = 8x + 10

2x = 10

x = 5

Answer:

1577.8 US dollars are received for 1127 UK pounds.

5669.5 UK pounds are received for US$7937.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

How many US dollars are received for 1127 UK pounds?

1 UK pound = 1.4 US dollars

1127 UK pounds - x US dollars

Applying cross multiplication:

$x = 1127*1.4 = 1577.8$

1577.8 US dollars are received for 1127 UK pounds.

How many UK pounds are received for US$7937.3?

1 UK pound = 1.4 US dollars

x UK pounds - 7937.3 US dollars

$1.4x = 7937.3$

$x = \frac{7937.3}{1.4}$

$x = 5669.5
$

5669.5 UK pounds are received for US$7937.3.
