Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 42
x+y = - 2 Substitute into the top equation
y = -2 - x Put in for y
x(-2 - x) = 42 Remove the brackets
-2x - x^2 = 42 Subtract 42 from both sides.
-2x - x^2 - 42 = 0 Put in the more normal order.
-x^2 - 2x - 42 = 0 Multiply by -1
x^2 + 2x + 42 = 0
This cannot be factored. It gives complex roots as it is written. I will give you the answer but I kind of doubt the question is correct.
x1 = - 1 + 6.40i
x2 = -1 - 6.40i
Leave a comment if you have a correction.
X = 1 or any thing really it depends on the way you look at it
Here is your answer

REASON:
SSS congruency states that, if all the three sides of a triangle are respectively equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle then both triangles are said to be
.
Here, in both triangles
7units=7 units
8units=8units
Middle side is common to both triangles so it is equal.
Hence, both triangles are congruent by SSS
