Answer:

x = 4

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

If a triangle is equilateral all three sides are equal. So each side has equal statements.

Solution

3x + 2 = 5x - 2y            Subtract 3x from both sides

2 = 5x -3x - 2y              Combine

2 = 2x - 2y                     divide by 2

x - y = 1                          Equation 1

3x + 2 = 6y - 4            Equilateral triangles have equal sides. Subtract 6y

3x - 6y + 2=  - 4          Subtract 2

3x - 6y = -4 - 2

3x - 6y = - 6                Divide by 3

x - 2y = - 2                  Equation 2.

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2

x - 2y = - 2

x -  y    =  1                    Subtract

  - y    = - 3                   Multiply by -2

    y = 3

Put y = 3 into equation 1

x - y = 1

x - 3 = 1                         Add 3 to both sides.

x = 4

Answer

x = 4

y = 3

devlian [24]

The angle at the center of the circle is twice the angle at the circumference.

<h3>What is Circle Theorem?</h3>

The angle in a semicircle is a right angle. Angles that are in the same segment are equal.

As by theorem,

angle in a semicircle is a right angle. Angles that are in the same segment are equal.

Also, opposite angle in a cyclic quadrilateral sums to 180° and the angle between the chord and  tangent is also equal to the angle in the alternate segment.

What expressions equal to 1 forth of 52
Klio2033 [76]
Remember that x/4 and 1/4*x is the same thing.

1/4*52 is therefore the same as 52/4. Fractions represent division, so 52 divided by 4 is also correct.
0.25*x is the same as 1/4*x because 1/4=0.25
4% of 52 is incorrect because the decimal form of 4% is 0.04, which is not the same as 0.25

Final answer: B

Can someone please help me with this thanks
xenn [34]

Answer:

24 (units)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Quadrilateral EFGH is being dilated by a scale factor of 3/4, this means that each side of E'F'G'H' gets multiplied by 3/4. In this case, we are going to divide by 3/4 to return to the original figure (or multiply by 4/3 since that is the reciprocal)

This means that side HE is 18/(3/4) = 18(4/3) = 72/3 = 24 units
