Question

Help please- (ss below)

Answer 1

Do you know what the lines mean?

Answer 2

They resemble the sides

Answer 3

I mean the two, three, and one lines.

Answer 4

Now I'm confused-

Answer 5

These lines

Answer 6

Oh okay . My teacher just told me it represents the side like sss (side-side-side)

Answer 7

e.e That is wrong. I will explain it to you real quick...

Answer 8

ok .. ty .

Answer 9

Those lines represent that they equal the same as another side that has those same lines. Like...

the two lines (||) on triangle A (left one) and the two lines on triangle B. That means those two sides are equal. Same with the three lines, and the one line.

Understand now?

Answer 10

kinda .

Answer 11

Continue then. You will understand more later.
\[7x-4\]This is the equation for triangle A, two lines. Look at triangle B. What is the two lines side number?

Answer 12

31

Answer 13

Correct.

So back to what I said before.

"That means those two sides are equal." - The two lines on both triangle A and B are the same. So therefore...
\[7x-4=31\]

Answer 14

so 31+4=35 7x=35 x=5

Answer 15

Lemme put that in equation to understand it better....
\[31+4=35\]\[7x=35\]\[x=5\]

Answer 16

Yeah that .

Answer 17

Okay...

so it would then look like this (the equation).
\[7(5)-4\]You do 7*5 to get 42, then 42-4 which is 38.... e.e We have to solve for y, not x. Forget what I said earlier. ._.

Answer 18

7*5=35 ...

Answer 19

not 42-

Answer 20

Oops, I clicked 6, not 5. My mistake.

Answer 21

im jus gonna guess bc i have a lot more questions and i have limited time left

Answer 22

ty tho

Answer 23

Your welcome. e.e

Answer 24

But here is how you solve for y then...

4y+8

the other three lines is 24, so therefore, 4y+8=24

y would then equal 4

so...

4(4)+8=24

Answer 25

sorry prolly doesn't matter to you but I FIGURED IT OUT ND GOT 100 !!

Answer 26
