Need help on #9., #12., #13., and #14. * Picture in question.* Need to know 1) the layout...2)the steps...3) how to do the problem...and 4) what to plug in the calculator. * Picture in question.*

sam (.sam.):

9. Cross multiply?

sam (.sam.):

@CoExist2 You there?

sam (.sam.):

Or multiply both sides by 60, either way

OpenStudy (coexist2):

@.Sam.

OpenStudy (coexist2):

oh thanks

OpenStudy (coexist2):

how do i get rid of the y in#9.?

sam (.sam.):

You don't have to, and you'll need to find the solution for y

sam (.sam.):

\[\frac{3y-8}{12}=\frac{y}{5}\] By cross multiplication you get \[5(3y-8)=12y\]

sam (.sam.):

15y-40=12y 3y-40=0 3y=40 y=40/3

sam (.sam.):

OpenStudy (coexist2):

@.Sam. thanks.

OpenStudy (coexist2):

can anyone help me on 12, 13, and 14#?

sam (.sam.):

So KL is with BC and LG is with CD

OpenStudy (coexist2):

what does that mean; how does it add up as a whole... what am i supposed to do to solve it? @.Sam.

sam (.sam.):

Probably \[\frac{16}{20}=\frac{x}{9}\]

sam (.sam.):

16 is in x, and x is BC's length and 20 is proportionate to 9, so that equation should satisfy it

OpenStudy (coexist2):

5?

sam (.sam.):

You'll get 7.2

OpenStudy (coexist2):

oh okay thanks.

OpenStudy (coexist2):

@.Sam. Is #14. = 49?

sam (.sam.):

For #13 no not similar

OpenStudy (coexist2):

Is #14. = 49? @.Sam.

sam (.sam.):

Where did you get 49?

OpenStudy (coexist2):

57-48=9

sam (.sam.):

You can't do that|dw:1464770951148:dw|

OpenStudy (coexist2):

?

sam (.sam.):

If you want it simple, 48 multiplied by what to get 57?

sam (.sam.):

And if you divide 57 by 48 you'll get 1.1875

sam (.sam.):

Using this number, 1.1875, and the number 40, multiplying together, you will get x, 47.5

OpenStudy (coexist2):

oh okay thank you. this makes more sense.

sam (.sam.):

It does, the numbers they're connected
