Respuesta:
A.) BA = 12 m
Explicación paso a paso:
Usando triángulos similares:
BA / AC = DE / EC
BA = x; AC = 20; DE = 3; EC = 5
POR ESO ; TENEMOS :
x / 20 = 3/5
Multiplicar en cruz:
5 * x = 20 * 3
5 veces = 60
5x / 5 = 60/5
x = 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It seems this system of equations would be solved easier using the elimination method (the x and y values are lined up).
Multiply everything in the first equation by -2 (we want the 4x to be able to cancel out with a -4x).
Now line up the equations (they are already lined up - convenient) and add them from top to bottom.
The -4x and 4x are opposites, so they cancel out.
Adding 6y and 2y gives you 8y, and adding -12 and 4 gives you -8.
Divide both sides by 8.
Since you have the y-value you can substitute this in to the second (or first equation, it doesn't necessarily matter) equation.
Simplify.
Add 2 to both sides.
Divide both sides by 4.
The final answer is .
