To solve you insert into proportions, then cross-multiply and simplify.
But first, add 5 and 6 to get the full side length of the bigger triangle

$\frac{x}{5} x \frac{5.5}{11}$

11x = 27.5
x = 2.5

Hope this helps!

If only two points are needed to determine a line why are three ordered pair solutions or points found for a linear equation

makvit [3.9K]

Two points give you a line. A third point (often called a check-point) is used to confirm the accuracy of your first two points. If all three line up, you have confirmed you have the correct line.

casey is six time as old as Ralph, In two years, she will be four time as old as Ralph. How old is each of them now?

Keith_Richards [23]

Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Age of Casey = x

Age of Ralph = y

According to given statement;

x = 6y Eqn 1

In two years

x+2=4(y+2)

x+2=4y+8

x = 4y+8-2

x = 4y+6 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$6y=4y+6 \\6y-4y=6\\2y=6$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\\y=3$

Putting y=3 in Eqn 1

$x=6(3)\\x=18$

Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.

Anita is making a curtain to surround a table. She bought 3 1/4 yards of fabric. Her total cost was $13. What was the cost per y

Ratling [72]

3.25y=13. Isolate y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.25. So 3.25y/3.25=13/3.25. Your answer is therefore 13/3.25, or 4
