Answer:
y = 71
z = 18
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure on the right is simply figure on the left but flipped on its side. we know this because the question tells us the shapes are congruent (which means equal, the same)
2(y-4)+5=3(y+2)
multiply the first bracket by 2
(2)(y)=2y
(2)(-4)=-8
multiply the second bracket by 3
(3)(y)=3y
(3)(2)=6
2y-8+5=3y+6
2y-3=3y+6
move 3y to the other side
sign changes from +3y to -3y
2y-3y-3=3y-3y+6
-y-3=6
move -3 to the other side
-y-3+3=6+3
-y=9
multiply both sides by -1 to get +y
(-1)(-y)=9(-1)
Answer:
y=-9
------------------------(- K)-------------0-------------(+K)-----------------
K unit to the left of 0, means K is negative.
The opposite of (-K) is (+K), both are symmetric vs. the origin "0", then its location will be +K
Instead i use pemdas so the answer to this problem would be 48
