Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expression

First we need to distribute the negative throughout the parenthesis. Then we can combine like terms in order to simplify this expression

This answer matches D.
In the given diagram, the traingles USW and UTV are similar triangles and thus the following ratio equality applies to them.
..........(Equation 1)
Checking the diagram given, we see that:
VT=y, WS=22, VU=8, ST=x-2
WU=WV+VU=12+8=20
TU=5
SU=ST+TU=(x-2)+5=x+3
Thus, substituting the required values in (Equation 1) we get:

Now, as can be clearly seen, to find y we will use the first two ratios as:


In a similar manner, to find the value of x we can use the last two ratios:

After cross multiplication we get:

Which can be simplified as:

Thus, 
Therefore, the required answer is:
x=9.5 and y=8.8
The answer could be 2b+3/b-2=3b/+2
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation:</u>




<u>Step 2: Subtract 5/6 from both sides:</u>


<u>Step 3: Multiply both sides by 15/2:</u>


Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Law of Sines is

Filling in what we are given:

Cross multiply to get
and divide to solve for side c:
which gives you that
c = 8.45
We know that angle B has to be the difference between 180 and angle A and angle C, so
angle B = 51
Now we can solve for side b:
and
and
b = 21.03
