Answer:
y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
14y = 252 ( divide both sides by 14 )
y = 18
First, square both sides. This will cancel out the radical.
(a^2 = b + 6)
Then subtract 6 from both sides
b = a^2 - 6
Let's set the original price as x.
1/4 off the original price would be
x-1/4x=3/4x
Set it equal to 75
3/4x=75
3x=300
x=100
The original price was $100.

<span>k= Keisha
k + 6=
John</span>
<span>
k + k + 6
= 4k</span>
<span>
2k + 6 ( - 2k)
= 4k ( - 2k)</span>
<span>
6 = 2k</span>
<span>
3 =
k
(Keisha= 3 years old)</span>
<span>
k + 6 = 9
(John = 9 years old)
</span>
3 + 3 + 6 = 4 (3)
<span>
12 = 12
</span><span>So
we made the pawn represent Keisha’s age.
Then we knew that John is 6 years older than Keisha so we represented
his age with a pawn plus 6. This went on 1 side of the equation because it said
that together they equal 4 times Keisha’s age. So on the other side of the
equation we put 4 pawns because we are using each pawn as Keisha’s age. Then we subtracted the pawns from each side
to keep the equation balanced. So we had
that 2 pawns equal 6, which means that each pawn equals 3 so Keisha is 3 years
old. Since John is 6 years older than
Keisha, he must be 9 years old. We
checked our work and substituted 6 in for each pawn and found that 12 equals
12, so our equation is balanced.
