It is a good idea to check to see if your answer is reasonable because a. if your answer is reasonable, you have probably done the problem correctly.
Answer:
x = 11, y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔABC and ΔFDE are congruent by the postulate SSS
Equate the congruent sides in the 2 triangles
BC = ED, that is
x + 3 = 14 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
x = 11
-------------------------------------
DF = AB, that is
x - y = 3 ← substitute x = 11
11 - y = 3 ( subtract 11 from both sides )
- y = 3 - 11 = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
y = 8
Umm.. I have to see the problems, we might not have the same textbooks so
