Answer:708
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 14
y = 4
Explanation:
Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.
So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.
So we can write the equation x = y + 10.
Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.
So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.
Now we have the equations 
you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.
To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.
<em>IMPORTANT THIGNS TO REMEMBER:</em>
- Has 20 lb. dog food!
- Gives dog 1 3/5 everyday!
- Find how much eaten after 2 days!
- Find how much is left!
<em>ANSWER:</em>
Dog has eaten 3 1/5 after 2 days!
There is 16 4/5 left in bag!
<em>EXPLANATION:</em>
Since she gives 1 3/5 to her dog everyday and their asking for 2 days you would multiply 1 3/5 × 2 OR add 1 3/5 + 1 3/5
Which would give you 3 1/5
So, the dog has eaten 3 1/5 lb. of dog food in 2 days.
However then, you would subtract 20 lb. - 3 1/5 lb. because there is 20 lb. dog food in all and the dog has eaten 3 1/5 of it. This would give you 16 4/5 lb.
Meaning there is 16 4/5 lb. left in the bag of dog food!
I thought this would be simple, as I'm familiar with algebra and not really "The constant of proportionality," but I will do my best.
So this said "Constant of proportionality," is referring to basically the answers for the equation when X equals certain numbers.
Make a table of different answers when you plug in X and you get the 'Constant of proportionality.'
y = 2.5x + 3
y = 2.5(1) + 3
y = 2.5 + 3
y = 5.5
Since we plugged in 1 for X and got 5.5 for Y, our input and output is (1, 5.5)
Replace X for a different value, and you will get a bunch of different numbers that will in essence be your function inputs and outputs. Make a table of these and you have your answer.
EXAMPLE -
-= x =- -= y =-
-= 1 =- -= 5.5 =-
-= 2 =- -= 8 =-
-= 3 =- -= 11.5 =-
-= 4 =- -= 13 =-
So there you have it. I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
