you can compare the length of sides of both the triangles...
The answer to the first part is 26 i think
Bc 6-10 theres 10 and 10-15 theres 16
You set 49 equal to 8x - 15
So
8x - 15 = 49
+15 + 15
8x = 64
Then divide by 8
X= 8
Answer: (12,0)
Steps:
First, put the equation in slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
1.5x + 4.5y =18
Subtract 1.5x from both sides.
4.5y =-1.5x +18
Divide both sides by 4.5 to isolate y.
y = -1/3x + 4
Then replace y with 0 because the point for the x-intercept is exactly on the x-axis so the y=0.
0 = -1/3x + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides
-4 = -1/3x
Divide both sides by -1/3 to isolate the x
12=x
