Directions: Solve for x. Please help

Mathematics
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the whole right side of that triangle is equal to 28 and the lower portion is 21, then we know the upper portion is 7. Set up a proportion using those sides and the fact that the 2 triangles are similar:

\frac{7}{21} =\frac{x}{18} and cross multiply to get

21x = 126 and

x = 6

Rewrite the equation 6x – 9y = 12 in terms of y.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 9y = 12

subtract 6x from both sides

-9y = 12 - 6x

divide both sides by -9

y = -4/3 + 2/3x

or

y = 2/3x - 4/3

How do I solve this?
Hunter-Best [27]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • x = 10
  • y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive interior angles between parallel lines are supplementary.

Let's start with x.

  (8x +40)° +(6x)° = 180°

  14x +40 = 180 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

  14x = 140 . . . . . . . . . subtract 40

  x = 10 . . . . . . . . divide by 14

__

We can use the same approach for y:

  (7y)° +(3y -10)° = 180°

  10y = 190 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, add 10, collect terms

  y = 19 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
