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).

This equation shows how the total cost of visiting the art museum as a member is related to the number of visits. C = 9.2v + 21.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

C=9.2v + 21.2

76.4 = 9.2v + 21.2

76.4 - 21.2 = 9.2v

55.2 = 9.2v

v= 55.2 / 9.2 = 6

2. Stephen Curry's record during the 2017 – 2018 NBA final game is made up of 2-point shots and 3-points.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

He made 7 3-point shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=19

2x+3y=45

y=19-x

2x+3*(19-x)=45

2x+57-3x=45

-x=45-57

-x=-12

x=12

y=19-12

y =7
