Reggie applies to become a member of a school club. To become a member, 75% of the club members must vote for a candidate. There are currently 56 members in the club. Using this metric, what is the least number of votes Reggie can receive and still become a member of the club?

the answer is "add 2y and y"

step-by-step explanation:

you need to collect the like terms first.

what am i trying to find out. you didn't put up the whole question.

step-by-step explanation:

look at the picture.

1.

ef : ab = 2 : 3

gf : cb = 2 : 3

gh : cd = 2 : 3

he : da = 2 : 3

2.

∠a ≅ ∠e

∠b ≅ ∠f

∠c ≅ ∠g

∠d ≅ ∠h

3.

use pythagorean theorem:

the length of the abcd trapezoid sides:

|ab| = 3 cm

|bc| = 10 cm

|cd| = 3(3) cm = 9 cm

|da| = 8 cm

the perimeter of abcd = 3 + 10 + 9 + 8 = 30 cm

the ratio of perimeters of the tarapezoids is equal 2 : 3.

substitute:

      cross multiply

      divide both sides by 3
