x = 8

y = 3

x = 5y - 7

x + y + 1 = 12

Because we have a value for x, we can use it in the second equation to find the value of y.

5y - 7 + y + 1 = 12

Combine like terms

6y - 6 = 12

Add 6 to both sides.

6y = 18

Divide both sides by 6.

y = 3

Now that we have a value for y we can place it back in the equation to find the value of x.

x + 3 + 1 = 12

Subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 8

85 is greater than the difference of x and63

miss Akunina [59]

85 > x-63

This is how you would arrange the problem,

isolate the X by adding 63 to 85 to get 148,
Flip the inequality to <

resulting in X<148.

Which pair of triangles can be proven by the HL theorem

natulia [17]

Also known as the hypotenuse leg theorem. It states that if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.' This is kind of like the SAS, or side-angle-side postulate. Congruent triangles.
