Answer: the correct option is (A) x = y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the values of x and y that makes the triangles in the figure congruent by HL.

From the figure, we note that

triangles ABC and AED are right-angled triangles with hypotenuse AC, AD and one congruent side BC, ED.

Also, AC = 2x + 3, AD = 3y+1, BC = x and ED = y.

Since the triangles are congruent by HL postulate, so we must have

$x=y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\2x+3=3y+1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

$2x+3=3x+1\\\\\Rightarrow 3x-2x=3-1\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.$

So, from equation (i), we arrive at

x = y = 2.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

Answer: The answer is (D). Zhao Xue doesn’t have enough money left to buy any yofurt

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Zhao Xue is buying buy milk and yogurt, a total of at least 6.5 gallons of dairy products and she has a budget of $20. The given graph represents the constraints on the number of gallons of milk 'M' and yogurt 'Y' Zhao Xue buys. Zhao Xue buys 4 gallons of milk. We need to calculate the number of gallons of yogurt she can buy to meet both her constraints.

From the graph, we can write

Condition A :

$M+Y\geq 6.5.$

Condition B :

$8M+5Y\leq40.$

Now, if she buys 4 gallons of milk, the the conditions become

$4+Y\geq 6.5~~\Rightarrow Y\geq 2.5,\\\\8\times 4+5Y\leq 40~~\Rightarrow Y\leq 1.6.$

Here, there will be no solution to these constraints.

Therefore, she does not have enough money left to buy any yogurt.

Thus, the correct option is (D).
