If these triangles are congruent, then side RS is congruent to side TV and that means that y = 4 - x. If y = 4-x, we can sub that into the next equation where side RV = side ST and 1 = 4x - y. If y = 4-x, we sub in accordingly to get 1 =4x - (4 - x). That simplifies to 1 = 4x - 4 + x which is, combining like terms, 5 = 5x. That means that x = 1. If x = 1, and y = 4 - x, then y = 4 - 1 and y = 3. There you go!

Answer:
Cost of bolts = x = $0.3
Cost of washers = y = $0.167
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
Cost of bolts = x
Cost of washers = y
Luke buys 4 bolts and 6 washers for $2.20
Hence:
4x + 6y = 2.20....Equation 1
Holly spends $1.80 on 3 bolts and 5 washers at the same local hardware store.
3x + 5y = 1.80....Equation 2
Combining both Equations
4x + 6y = 2.20....Equation 1
3x + 5y = 1.80....Equation 2
Multiply Equation 1 by 3 and Equation 2 by 4 to eliminate x
12x + 18x = 6.6.....Equation 4
12x + 20x = 7.2.......Equation 5
Substract Equation 4 from 5
= 2x = 0.6
x = 0.6/2
x = $0.3
Solving for y
4x + 6y = 2.20....Equation 1
4 × 0.3 + 6y = 2.2
1.2 + 6y = 2.2
6y = 2.2 - 1.2
6y = 1.0
y = 1.0/6
y = $0.167
Cost of bolts = x = $0.3
Cost of washers = y = $0.167
She made her mistake at the first step. To simplify a radical, you would find two numbers that multiply by each other to get your original number (under the radical)
and have one of the number be a perfect square.
Her reasoning is wrong because 10*10 is not
. Had she been correct, her answer should have been able to be squared to equal
In other words, she should have done
(We used 25 because 25 is a perfect square, 5*5=25).
