Answer:
x = 5/4
y = 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle and the larger one are similar, so the sides are proportional.
(x+5)/5 = 10/8
x/5 + 1 = 1/4 + 1 . . . . . divide it out
x/5 = 1/4 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1
x = 5/4 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5
___
For y, you can do exactly the same computations, replacing every instance of 5 with a 7. Then you get ...
y = 7/4

Answer:
Least number is 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of CDs has Jo be represented by x + 10. Where x = 0, 1, 2, 3....
Then, since Ken has twice as many CDs as Jo, the number of CDs that Ken has can be expressed as;
2(x + 10) = 2x + 20
Maisie has three times as many CDs as Ken, then the number of CDs that Maisie has can be expressed as;
3(2x + 20) = 6x + 60
Thus to determine the least number of CDs that Maisie can have, let x = 0.
3(2x + 20) = 6x + 60
= 6(0) + 60
= 60
Therefore, the least number of CDs that Maisie can have is 60.
Answer:
the larger room needs 132 sq. ft more of carpet
Step-by-step explanation:
14*18 = 252 sq. ft
10*12 = 120 sq. ft
252 - 120 = 132 sq. ft
I'd say increasing each side by 5 increases the volume by a factor of 125 because 5*5*5 = 125.
Example:
A 4*5*6 prism has a volume of 120
Increasing each side by a factor of five
(20*25*30) = 15,000
15,000 / 120 = 125
