The value of y in the triangle is 7.5
How to calculate the value of y?
The given parameter is the triangle
On the triangle, we have the following equivalent ratio
y : 8 = y + 15 : 20
Express as fraction
y/8 = y + 15/20
Cross multiply
20y = 8y + 90
Collect the like terms
20y - 8y = 90
Evaluate
12y = 90
Divide by 12
y = 7.5
Hence, the value of y in the triangle is 7.5
