Question

Find x and y, please solve with steps and leave answers in fraction form, THANK YOU

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

Using the proprtionality relation:

● 8/10 =5/x

● (4*2)/(5*2) = 5/x

Simplify using 2

● 4/5 = 5/x

Multiply both sides by 5

● (4/5)*5 = (5/x)*5

● 4 = 25/x

Switch x and 4

● x= 25/4

Again use the proportionality relation but this time with y.

● 8/10 =7/y

8/10 = 4/5

● 4/5 = 7/y

Multiply both sides by 5

● (4/5)*5 =(7/y)*5

● 4 = 35/y

Switch 4 and y

● y = 35/4
