Answer:
a. HL
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔRED ≅ ΔTAN by HL Postulate of congruen.
(8y + 17) = (6x - 7)
(3x -29) + (6x -7) = 180
9x -36 = 180
9x = 216
x = 24
(8y + 17) = (6x - 7)
8y + 17 = 6(24) - 7
8y + 17 = 144 -7
8y = 120
y = 15
I hope this helps!! (and hope it’s correct hahah :))
Step-by-step explanation:
When you use the distributive property, you multiply everything inside the parentheses by the number outside of the parentheses. When you distribute, the equation becomes 5x+20=60 vs 5x+4= 60. Hope this helps!
