Answer is b ,-4x^2 - 13y^2
1/10(0.2)
=(1/10)(0.2/1)
=(1)(36028) / (10)(18014)
=0.02
A) x + y = 17
B) x * y = -168
y = -168/x then inputting this into A)
x + -168/x = 17
x^2 -168 -17x = 0
x = 24 and x = -7
First you can solve for b: Subtract a on both sides and get 2b=-a+10, then divide by 2 to get b by itself and get: b=-1/2a+5
Then you can plug in this equation for b in the other: This would give you: 2a+-1/2a+5=6. Then you can use that equation to solve for a and get: 1.5a+5=6, subtract 5, 1.5a=1, divide by 1.5, a=1/1.5
Then you can plug in the value of a to solve for b.
Given that we assume that all the bases of the triangles are parallel.
We can use AAA or Angle-Angle-Angle to prove that these triangles are similar.
Each parallel line creates the same angle when intersecting with the same side.
For example:
The bases of each triangle cross the left side of all the triangle.
Each angle made by the intersecting of the the parallel base and the side are the same.
Thus, each corresponding angle of all the triangles are congruent.
If these angles are congruent, then we have similar triangles.
