One approach that might be a great help would be if you would look
at the choices ... those things at the bottom of the question that you
didn't give us.
-- One leg is 3 times the length of the other leg.
-- Any right triangle that has one leg three times as long as the other
leg is similar to this triangle.
I'll bet that if you look through the choices, you'll find one there.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying <span>4y + -70 = 12y + 2
</span>
Add -12y to each side of the equation. -70 + 4y + -12y = 2 + 12y + -12y
<span>Add 70 to each side of the equation.
-70 + 70 + -8y = 2 + 70
</span>
Divide each side by -8.
<span>
</span>So y = -9 is your answer.
Hope I Helped!!!
We know that y is equal to x-2. We can just substitute x-2 for y since y is equal to it.
10x- 9(x-2)=24
Distribute.
10x- 9x+18= 24
x+18= 24
Subtract 18 on both sides.
x= 6
Now, plug in x.
y= (6)-2
y= 4
We can check this to see if this works:
4= 6-2, 4=4
10(6)- 9(4)= 24
60-36= 24, 24=24
x=6 and y=4
I hope this helps!
