x is  \frac{2y + 1}{2y - 3}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

EP = FP

GQ = FQ

Since the sides are equal, the ΔFPQ and ΔFEG are similar.

According to the property of similarity:

\frac{FP}{PE} =\frac{FQ}{QG}

On substituting the value:

\frac{2x}{4y+2} = \frac{3x-1}{4y + 4} \\\\2x ( 4y + 4) = (3x-1)(4y+2)\\\\8xy + 8x = 12xy + 6x - 4y - 2\\\\4xy - 6x - 4y - 2 = 0\\\\2xy - 3x - 2y - 1 = 0\\\\2xy - 3x = 2y + 1\\\\x(2y - 3) = 2y +1\\\\x = \frac{2y+1}{2y-3}

Perimeter will be sum of all the sides. If y is known then substitute the value and then find the perimeter.

So in order to find the correct answer, we can just easily plug in the values to check which ordered pair matches the given inequality above. So based on my solutions, the correct answer would be the last pair. 
<span> y − 2x ≤ 1
0 - 2(5)</span> ≤ 1
0-10  ≤ 1
-10  ≤ 1

The distance between city A and city B is 22 miles. The distance between city B and city C is 54 miles. The distance between cit
Cloud [144]
54 is the hypotenuse because it is the longest side. Square all of the sides. So 54^2=2916
51^2=2601
22^2=484
Now you have 2916=2601+484
Add the two and they will be greater than 2916. Because of that, you will have an acute triangle because 22^2+51^2>54^2
In short, its B
