A number, y, is equal to twice the sum of a smaller number and 3. The larger number is also equal to 5 more than 3 times the smaller number. Which equations represent the situation? 2 x minus y = negative 6 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and 3 x minus y = negative 5 2 x minus y = negative 6 and x minus 3 y = 5 2 x minus y = negative 3 and x minus 3 y = 5

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

answer is c

step-by-step explanation:

81/12=324/x

x=48

answer is
