When you are doing distributive property, it can only happen if a number or exponent is before the bracket. From this equation, you can solve for x like so:

7(x+5)-x=42

7x+35-x=42 -Using distributive property (Multiplication)

6x=7 -Collecting like terms.

x= 7/6 -The answer.

Therefore x would equate to 7/6.

Use slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

XZ: -5/9
YZ: 2/7
XY: -7/2

XYZ is a right triangle because two of these slopes have a product of -1.

(YZ and XY does).  We are all busy these days.

Which congruence theorems can be used to prove △ABR ≅ △ACR? Check all that apply. HL SAS SSS ASA AAS
Verizon [17]

HL (It's a right triangle and the hypotenuse and leg are congruent. This can also be thought of as SAS.)

SAS (Side angle side. All congruent.)

SSS (Line AR is shared by both triangles. A line is always congruent on itself. The other two are self explanatory.)

ASA and AAS cannot be used because we can only confidently confirm one angle of each triangle.
