Answer:
x=7
y=18
The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.
The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5 = x+12 and y-4 = x+5
Solve for x first
2x+5-5 = x+12-5 Subtract 5 from both sides to eliminate it.
2x-x = x-x+7 Subtract x from both sides to eliminate it.
x=7 Now, substitute 7 for x in y-4 = x+5 to solve for y.
y-4 = (7)+5
y-4 = 12
y-4+4 = 12+4 Add 4 to both sides to eliminate it.
y = 18
Finally, we can substitute 7 for x and 18 for y in all equations to see the lengths of each side.
(18)-4=14 The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.
2(7)+5=19 The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
If triangles PQR and STU are similar then PQ corresponds to ST and PR corresponds to SU. Therefore, PQ/ST=PR/SU
Considering that, PQ= 7-x, ST= 13-x, PR= x²+5 and SU= x² +20
therefore, (7-x)/(13-x)= (x²+5)/(x²+20)
cross multiplying,
7x² +140-x³+20x =13x²+65-x³-5x
combining the like terms,
6x² +15x -75=0
solving for x,
x = 5/2 or -5
