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
Answer:
f(x) + g(x) = (-2x + 8)+ 3x
f(x) + g(x) = -2x + 8 + 3x Combine like terms.
f(x) + g(x) = x + 8
f(x) + g(x) = (f+g)(x) = x + 8
(f + g)(-1) = -1 + 8
(f + g)(-1) = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you know 5 tickets equal to $60, and you want to find the cost of one ticket, you would divide 60 by 5. 60/5=12. So each ticket costs 12 dollars. But you want to find the cost of two. So multiply $12 by two to get $24 dollars per two tickets.
