The solution to the variables are x = 7 and y = 4
How to determine the solution to the variables?
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
Shape = Triangle
The marks on the triangles imply that
- The visibly smaller triangle is an equilateral triangle
- The other triangle is an isosceles triangle
So, we have the following representation
3x - 5 = 5y - 4
3x - 5 = y + 12
Substitute 3x - 5 = y + 12 in 3x - 5 = 5y - 4
y + 12 = 5y - 4
Evaluate the like terms
4y = 16
So, we have
y = 4
Substitute y = 4 in 3x - 5 = y + 12
3x - 5 = 4 + 12
So, we have
3x = 21
This gives
x = 7
Hence, the values are x = 7 and y = 4
