Question

Help!!! will give medals:) :)
find lengths x and y

Answer 1

do I take\[\frac{ 39 }{ x }=\frac{ 52 }{ 40 }\] cross multiply to get x
\[\frac{ 52 }{ 40 }=\frac{ y }{ 50 }\] cross multiply to get y???

Answer 2

From the number's you gave multiplying 39*40/52=30 so x should be 30. 52*50/40=Y

Answer 3

y=65

Answer 4

Yep

Answer 5

alright thanks so much for the help

Answer 6

Yep no problem :)

Answer 7

first find y, cross multiply
y/52+y = 50/90

Answer 8

u mean \[\frac{ y }{ 52+y }=\frac{ 50 }{ 90 }\] and solve for y....how you get 90 @ivettef365

Answer 9

50 + 40 = 90

Answer 10

ooh ok

Answer 11

when you get value of y, you can solve for x

Answer 12

so y=28?

Answer 13

cross multiply, you have

90(y) = 50 (52 + y)
90y = 2600 + 50y
-50y -50y
-----------------
40y = 2600 now divide 2600/40 ???

Answer 14

ooh I messed up on my math so y=65

Answer 15

correct, now to find value of x, you cross multiply again but need to add all 3 numbers
so you have

39 / (39+52+65) = x / (x+40+50)

which is the same as

39 / 156 = x / x+ 90

Answer 16

Ok I think I got it from here thanks for ur help :)

Answer 17

yw :)

Answer 18

i get 86 for x @ivettef365 is that correct

Answer 19

lets see

156x = 39(x+90)
156x = 39x + 3510
-39x -39x
------------------
117x = 3510 now just divide 3510/117 = ???

Answer 20

30 i did something wrong in my math thanks again :)
