<u> ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle):</u>
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Consider triangles XYB and ZYA. In these triangles
- ∠X≅∠Z (given)
- XY≅ZY (given)
- ∠Y is common angle
By ASA Postulate, triangles XYB and ZYA are congruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so
BX≅AZ
Problem 1
<h3>Answer: 2/5</h3>
--------------------------
Explanation:
There are 4 green blocks out of 4+6 = 10 total. We divide the number of green over the number total to get the answer. Reduce the fraction as much as possible. The fraction 4/10 reduces to 2/5 (we divide both parts by 2).

Problem 2
<h3>Answer: 1/6</h3>
--------------------------
Explanation:
The probability the spinner lands on red is 2/6 = 1/3. This is because there are 2 spaces that are red out of 6 total. It helps to reduce as much as possible.
The probability the coin lands on heads is 1/2 because there's 1 side labeled heads out of 2 total.
Multiply the fractions: 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6
This works because both events are independent.
Substitute the first equation into the second equation. You will get:
4x - (2x - 5) = 7
Distribute the negative sign into the parenthesis:
4x - 2x + 5 = 7
Simplify
2x + 5 = 7
Subtract 5 on both sides
2x = 2
x = 1
Now, substitute x = 1 into the first equation:
y = 2(1) - 5
y = 2 - 5
y = -3
The solution to the system of equations is (1, -3).
If your just looking for x then x=2
