Can someone help me one this please

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16

hi there!

not proportional because the 42 does not go into 120 and 3 does not go into 8.

correct proportion: $40/1 ticket.

the reason i say this is because 40/1 is simplified and it evenly goes into 120/3.

hope this : )

i dont understand the question
