2(x+y)=24
2x=y

Use substitution. If y=2x, than we can substitute 2x for it in the other equation, because x and y equal the same things in both equations. 

So using that we get 2(x+2x)=24

SIMPLIFY
2(3x)=24

DISTRIBUTE
6x=24. 

DIVIDE: x=4.

If we substitute x into the original equations we get x=4 and y=8. Those are your two numbers. 

Have a nice day! :)

Given Δ XYZ ≅ Δ EGF, find the measurements of the unknown sides and angles.
mamaluj [8]
The two triangles are similar and equal therefore; It means the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are equal. Hence;
 ZX=EF, thus,ZX = 1.3 in. 
EG = XY, thus, EG = 3.0 in.
m∠ X = m∠E, thus m ∠X = 48°
m∠ G = m∠Y, and angles in a triangle add up to 180 thus;
  m ∠ G=180- (107 +48) = 25°

If you were to reflect them, the answer would be the same numbers with the opposite sign. Therefore, the answer should be (2,-6) hope that helped!!!!
