15/10 = 18-x/x is the ratio of the larger to the smaller triangle
Cross multiply:
15x = 10(18 - x)
15x = 180 - 10x
25x = 180
x = 7.2
Plug back in to check
15/10 = 1.5
18-7.2/7.2 = 10.8/7.2 = 1.5 :)
Answer:
y = -1 and u = 3.333
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are :
3u + y = 9 ...(1)
3u-5y = 15 ...(2)
Subtract equation (2) from (1).
3u + y-( 3u-5y)= 9 -15
y+5y = -6
6y = -6
y = -1
Put the value of y in equation (1).
3u + (-1) = 9
3u-1 = 9
3u = 10
u = 10/3
u = 3.333
The attached figure shows the graph for the above equations.
Haha, you first start off with adding 3 to both sides, cancelling the -3, and adding it to 9. you end up with 5x=12, in which you divide both sides by 5. you get 2 and 2/5 or 12/5! hope that helps :)
