Answer:
p = 7.2
q = 6.4
Step-by-step explanation:
if the triangles are similar then the side lengths must be proportional :
AC/BA = CD/BE
9/5 = p/4 cross multiply expressions
5p = 36 divide both sides by 5
p = 7.2
same goes for q
9/5 = (q+8)/8 cross multiply expressions
72 = 5(q+8) divide both sides by 5
14.4 = q+8 subtract 8 from both sides
6.4 = q
-3x + 6y + 5 = -7
<u> -5 -5</u>
-3x + 6y = -12
-3x + 3x + 6y = -12 + 3x
<u>6y</u> = <u>-12 + 3x</u>
6 6
y = -2 + 1/2x
-3x + 6(-2 + 1/2x) = -12
-3x - 12 + 3x = -12
-3x + 3x - 12 = -12
0x - 12 = -12
<u> +12 +12</u>
<u>0x</u> = <u>0</u>
0 0
x = 0
-3(0) + 6y = -12
0 + 6y = -12
<u>+0 +0</u>
<u>6y</u> = <u>-12</u>
6 6
y = -2
(x, y) = (0, -2)
I believe its 50 because 0.35x50=17.5 (35%=0.35)
