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:
10 2/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I guess it could represent a situation where you have
of a cake left and you have to share it with three of your friends (in addition to yourself). So that's four people sharing
of a cake.
Answer:
m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -x can also be written as
y = -1x + 0
The slope is -1.
In slope intercept equations, if the slope is '1' or '-1' they would usually drop the one.
Hope this helps.
