Triangle A
hypotenuse: 3y + x
leg: y - x
Triangle B
hypotenuse: y + 5
leg: x + 5
Congruency => 3y + x = y + 5 and y - x = x + 5
Solve the system
3y + x = y + 5 -> 2y + x = 5
y - x = x + 5 -> y - 2x = 5
2y + x = 5
-2y + 4x = -10
5x = -5
x = -1
y = (5 -(-1)) / 2 = 6/2 = 3
Verify:
hypotenuses
3y + x = 9 - 1 = 8
y + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
Legs:
y - x = 3 -(-1) = 3 + 1 = 4
x + 5 = -1 + 5 = 4.
Then both hypotenuses and both legs are congruent.
Answer: x = -1 and y = 3
Answer:
let W and R represent white toothpaste and red toothpaste represently
n(W)=143
n(R)=135
n(WnR)=70
n( WuR)=?
Now,
n(WuR)=n(W)+n(R)_n(WnR)
=143+135_70
=208
that's all don't forget to write therefore.
The answer is 2/9 of a gallon.
Because 2/9 x 9 (people) is 2 (gallon)
cool one
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, it is reasonable for Brittany to think that she will need more than 2 batches of cookies to feed all of the people at her school.
One batch of dough makes 2 dozen cookies, or 24 cookies.
This means that two batches of dough makes 4 dozen cookies, or 48 cookies.
If Brittany only brought 48 cookies to school, some kids wouldn't get cookies. So, we know that Brittany should probably bake more than 2 batches of cookies.
