Start with
Divide both sides by -3
If the absolute value of a number is 4, that number can either be 4 or -4: we have the two solutions
It's B because 5 x 4 = 20 and 9 x 5 = 45
When you add them together you get 65

Answer:
(x, y) = (2, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
For the triangles to be congruent, the hypotenuses must be the same length:
y = x + 7
and the marked leg must be the same length in each triangle:
y -3 = 4x -2
These are two equations in two unknowns (a "system" of equations) that can be solved in any of the usual ways. Since the first equation gives an expression for y, it is convenient to substitute that into the second equation:
(x +7) -3 = 4x -2
x +4 = 4x -2 . . . . . . collect terms
x +6 = 4x . . . . . . . . .add 2
6 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
y = 2 + 7 = 9 . . . . . .substitute for x in the first equation
The values you're looking for are x = 2, y = 9.
