Question

If WY= 15x-2 and XZ= 9x+10, find WY Need help ASAP

Answer 1

WY = 28

Explanation:

WY= 15x-2 and XZ= 9x+10

From the graph we can deduce that ΔWZY and ΔXYZ are congruent.

so, the corresponding sides are congruent.

So, WY = XZ

So, 15x-2= 9x+10

Solve for x

∴ 15x - 9x = 10 + 2

∴ 6x = 12

∴ x = 12/6 = 2

∴ WY = 15x-2 = 15 * 2 - 2 = 30 - 2 = 28
