Answer:
x = 3
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When 2 triangles are congruent, they will have exact same 3 sides length and exact same 3 angles measure.
So we can say:
-2x + 6y = 6
and
-7x + 8y = -5
Let's multiply first equation by 7 and 2nd equation by -2, to get:
7 [-2x + 6y = 6] = -14x +42y = 42
and
-2 [-7x + 8y = -5] = 14x - 16y = 10
Now adding these 2 new equations and solving for y:
-14x +42y = 42
14x - 16y = 10
----------------------
26y = 52
y = 52/26
y = 2
Now we put y = 2 into 1st equation (or any other) and solve for x:
-2x + 6y = 6
-2x + 6(2) = 6
-2x + 12 = 6
6 = 2x
x = 6/2
x = 3
The answer to your question is b.
3y+6 is the answer
-9+5(y+3)-2y
-9+5y+15-2y
-9+3y+15
=3y+6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is y = -x - 4.
