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.
-5, you never want the denominator to equal zero or else it doesnt exist!
x+5=0
x=-5
Answer: x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
1 - 3x = 3x + 1
then add 3x on both sides
1 = 6x + 1
then subtract 1 on both sides
0 = 6x
then divide by 6 on both sides
0 = x
so x = 0
Does this help? If it doesn't i can try to explain more if you want.
