Solve the system by substitution.
y = 5x
y = 9x + 8

(-2,-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

So if y=5x and if y=9x+8 then those should be able to equal each other (substitution):

5x=9x+8

Subtract 5x from both sides:

0=4x+8

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-8=4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x=-2

If x=-2, then we can just plug it back into the first equation:

y=5(-2)

Simplify:

y=-10

2500

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
