The answer is A. y = -2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
by using similarity and enlargement
10/8 = 7+y/7
70=56+8y
8y=14
y= 7/4
10/8 = 5+x/5
50=40+8x
x = 8/10 = 4/5
This argument is no valid although the first part of the statement is valid. If a number is larger than 6 than its square must be larger than 36. But if the number is smaller than 6, its square does not need to be smaller than 36. For example...
(-100)²=10000
-100 is smaller than 6 but its square is bigger.
answer: False
