Answer: Choice A
The triangles are congruent because both the corresponding sides of the triangles and the corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent.
==============================================
Explanation:
Congruent triangles are identical copies of one another. This means the corresponding pieces must be the same.
It's like saying two houses are identical, so that means the all the various parts (eg: front door, windows, etc) must be identical. If let's say the two front doors were different, then the houses wouldn't be completely identical.
Going back to the triangles, we know that the sides are congruent by the tickmarks
- side MN = side RS (single tickmark)
- side NP = side ST (double tickmarks)
- side MP = side RT (triple tickmarks)
That takes care of the first part of choice A.
And similarly, the angle markers tell us which angles are congruent
- angle M = angle R (single arc)
- angle N = angle S (90 degree angle marker)
- angle P = angle T (double arc)
That concludes the second part of choice A.

2. simplify x ≤ 7
Answer:
One possible equation is 
, which is equivalent to 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The factor theorem states that if 
(where 
is a constant) is a root of a function, 
would be a factor of that function.
The question states that 
and 
are 
-intercepts of this function. In other words, 
and 
would both set the value of this quadratic function to 
. Thus, 
and 
would be two roots of this function.
By the factor theorem, 
and 
would be two factors of this function.
Because the function in this question is quadratic, and would be the only two factors of this function. In other words, for some constant 
(
):
.
Simplify to obtain:
.
Expand this expression to obtain:
.
(Quadratic functions are polynomials of degree two. If this function has any factor other than and , expanding the expression would give a polynomial of degree at least three- not quadratic.)
Every non-zero value of corresponds to a distinct quadratic function with -intercepts and . For example, with 
:
, or equivalently,
.
