Answer:

20/9

Explanation:

since the 2 are similar,

JH/PQ = FM/ST

6/4 = 7/(3y-2)

6(3y-2) = 7*4

18y-12=28

18y = 40

y = 40/18 = 20/9 = 2 2/9

Answer:

y =
(20)/(9)

Explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is


(JH)/(PQ) =
(FM)/(ST) , substitute values


(6)/(4) =
(7)/(3y-2) ( cross- multiply )

6(3y - 2) = 28

18y - 12 = 28 ( add 12 to both sides )

18y = 40 ( divide both sides by 18 )

y =
(40)/(18) =
(20)/(9)
