From given picture we can see that X is mid point of line PQ
So PQ=2PX
From given picture we can see that Y is mid point of line PR
So PR=2PY
Now consider triangles PRQ and PYX
Sides PQ and PX has same ratio as of sides PR and PY (as calculated above)
angle XPY= angle QPR (common angle)
Hence triangles PRQ and PYX are similar.
We know that ratio of the sides of similar triangles is always equal so we can write:
Plug the given values QR=8 and PQ=2PX
Hence final answer is XY = 4 units.
Answer:
a=9
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.
First, cross multiply.
6/a=18/27
Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.
a*18=6*27
18a=162
Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.
18a/18=162/18
a=162/18
a=9
So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:
6/9=18/27
I’m guessing it’s the first one
Solve your system of equations.
2x+y=1;4x+2y=−1
Solve 2x+y=1 for y:
2x+y+−2x=1+−2x(Add -2x to both sides)
y=−2x+1
Substitute (−2x+1) for y in 4x+2y=−1:
4x+2y=−1
4x+2(−2x+1)=−1
2=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)
2+−2=−1+−2(Add -2 to both sides)
0=−3
Answer: No solution. C)
