Answer:

<h2>Let the number is = X </h2><h2>Two thirds of the number = 2x/3</h2><h2 /><h2>According to the problem given,</h2><h2>x+ 2x/3 = 55</h2><h2>( 3x + 2x ) /3 = 55</h2><h2>5x /3 = 55</h2><h2>x = ( 55 × 3 ) /5</h2><h2>x = 11 × 3</h2><h2>x = 33 </h2>

<h2>Therefore,</h2><h2>Required number = x = 33</h2>

Help two helpless triangles?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ACE = DCE since they are vertical angles

Angle A = Angle E parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

Angle B = Angle D parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

When all three angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

We can use ratios to find DE

DE CE

------- = ----------

AB AC

DE 8

------- = ----------

12 10

Using cross products

10 DE = 8*12

10 DE = 96

Divide by 10

DE = 9.6

There are 3 ways of solving a simultaneous problem, substitution method, elimination method and Gauss-Jordan method. I'm gonna use the substitution method since it's easier and i think it would suit your level more.

First let's try solving for y since it's easier to start with.

Firstly we have to find an equation for x:

$x-2y=2\\x-2y+2y=2+2y\\x=2+2y$
