Find the values of x and y

Hi there!

The two trapezoids are similar, so we can determine a common scale factor:

OL/UR = NM/TS

9/3 = 6/2

3 = 3

Trapezoid ONML is 3x larger than UTSR, so:

RS = 4, LM = y

3RS = LM

3 · 4 = y = 12.

Find x using the same method:

3UT = ON

3(2x+1) = 4x + 9

6x + 3 = 4x + 9

2x = 6

x = 3.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
