Mathematics

\quad \qquad\huge \underline{\boxed{\sf Answer}}

Let's assume the ratio constants in terms of x ~

that is ;

  • \sf2x

and

  • \sf3x

Now, according to question ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2x + 3x = 30

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5x = 30

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 30 \div 5

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 6

So, Derek gets :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2x = 2 \times 6 = £12

And Eric gets :

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 3x = 3 \times 6 =£ 18

Which reason justifies Statement 5?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The answer is A. Substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the previous proofs, you can see that:

∠Y≅∠4

∠Z≅∠6

∠X + ∠4 + ∠6 = 180°

Statement 5 then replaces ∠4 and ∠6 with ∠Y and ∠Z, respectively. Replacing it means that it was substituted with the GIVEN values by the previous statements.

The best answer is the Substitution.
