Please help, basic algebra. Find the value of x

 x = 131

Reasoning: Alternate interior angle theorem

The angles shown are inside the parallel lines, so they are interior angles. They are also considered alternate angles because they are on alternating sides of the transversal cut. Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.
