Answer:
C. x = 3, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If both triangles are congruent by the HL Theorem, then their hypotenuse and a corresponding leg would be equal to each other.
Thus:
x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1) => equal hypotenuse
Also,
x = y + 1 (eqn. 2) => equal legs
✔️Substitute x = y + 1 into eqn. 1 to find y.
x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1)
(y + 1) + 3 = 3y
y + 1 + 3 = 3y
y + 4 = 3y
y + 4 - y = 3y - y
4 = 2y
Divide both sides by 2
4/2 = 2y/2
2 = y
y = 2
✔️ Substitute y = 2 into eqn. 2 to find x.
x = y + 1 (eqn. 2)
x = 2 + 1
x = 3

$0.26
Step-by-step explanation:
12/46=.26
Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract double the second equation from the first.
(2x +3y) -2(x +y) = (15) -2(6)
y = 3 . . . . . . . . simplify
Use the second equation to find x.
x = 6 -y = 6 -3 = 3
The values of x and y are both 3.
