|First of all, the triangles are equal by ASA the way the diagram has been marked.

B and E are both right angles.
Side BC = Side DE
<BCA =< EDA 

So triangle BCA = triangle EDA

Now to the letters.
x = y - 1                 Add 1 to both sides.
x + 1 = y                (1)
3x - 2 = 2y + 1       Subtract 1 from both sides.
3x -2 - 1 = 2y
3x - 3 = 2y             Divide by 2
3x/2 - 3/2 = 2y/2
1.5x - 1.5 = y    (2)

Step One
Since (1) and (2) both have y isolated on their respective right sides, they can be equated.

1.5x - 1.5 = x + 1       Take an x from both sides.
0.5x - 1.5 = x - x + 1
0.5x - 1.5 = 1           Add  1.5 to both sides.
0.5x =  1 + 1.5
0.5x = 2.5                 Divide 0.5 on both sides.
0.5x/0.5 = 2.5/0.5

x = 5

Now we need a y value.
x = y - 1 
5 = y - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
5 + 1 = y - 1 + 1
6 = y 

So the 2 sides and the 2 angles are equal when 
x = 5
y = 6

Answer:

The correct statements are:

A) This polynomial has a degree of 2, so the equation x^{2}  + 4x + 4has exactly two roots.

B: The quadratic equation x^{2}  + 4x + 4 has one real solution, x=−2, and therefore has one real root with a multiplicity of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given polynomial is  f(x) = x^{2}  + 4x + 4

FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA:

If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1, then P(x) = 0 has exactly n roots, including multiple and complex roots.

Now, here the given polynomial is a quadratic polynomial with degree 2.

So, by the fundamental theorem, f(x) has EXACTLY 2 roots including multiple and complex roots.

Now, solving the equation , we get that the only possible roots of the polynomial p(x) is x = -2 and x = -2

So, f(x) has only one distinct root x = -2 with a multiplicity 2.

Hence, the correct statements are:

A) This polynomial has a degree of 2, so the equation x^{2}  + 4x + 4has exactly two roots.

B: The quadratic equation x^{2}  + 4x + 4 has one real solution, x=−2, and therefore has one real root with a multiplicity of 2.
