Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
It's equal to -15 because you are dividing by an negative and if it's only 1 negative number in your equation then your answer will be a negative and if it's 2 negatives then it would be a positive answer
As the exercise says, the triangles are similar. So, we can set up proportions between correspondent sides.
In order to solve for x we can set up the proportion between the horizontal and vertical sides:

Solving this proportion for x implies 
Now you can solve for m and p using the pythagorean theorem, because both triangles are right:

Then, we know that the hypothenuse of the big triangle is m+p, so we have

which implies

The answer is A
You can solve this by equation the two equations, by substitution method or elimination. Let's choose the substitution since Equation 2 has already X isolated
-take the X in equation 2 and substitute in the first equation
So, You should have 5 (5-3/2 y) -4y =7
Get y ( I'll assume you know how to simplify and find y by yourself )
y=36/23
-Now take y and substitute it in the first equation or the second equation (it doesn't really matter)
Substituting y in Equation 2:
x=5- 3/2 (36/23)
=> x= 61/23
So answer is A where (x,y) is (61/23, 36/23)
Answer:
A is 360
