|First of all, the triangles are equal by ASA the way the diagram has been marked.
B and E are both right angles.
Side BC = Side DE
<BCA =< EDA
So triangle BCA = triangle EDA
Now to the letters.
x = y - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
x + 1 = y (1)
3x - 2 = 2y + 1 Subtract 1 from both sides.
3x -2 - 1 = 2y
3x - 3 = 2y Divide by 2
3x/2 - 3/2 = 2y/2
1.5x - 1.5 = y (2)
Step One
Since (1) and (2) both have y isolated on their respective right sides, they can be equated.
1.5x - 1.5 = x + 1 Take an x from both sides.
0.5x - 1.5 = x - x + 1
0.5x - 1.5 = 1 Add 1.5 to both sides.
0.5x = 1 + 1.5
0.5x = 2.5 Divide 0.5 on both sides.
0.5x/0.5 = 2.5/0.5
x = 5
Now we need a y value.
x = y - 1
5 = y - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
5 + 1 = y - 1 + 1
6 = y
So the 2 sides and the 2 angles are equal when
x = 5
y = 6

Answer:
Whole numbers are also integers. There are other integers which are the opposites of the whole numbers (−1, −2, −3, ...). These negative numbers lie to the left of 0 on the number line. Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites.

Answer:
x= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + -4 = 7x + 4
Solving
-4 + 5x = 4 + 7x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 5x + -7x = 4 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 5x + -7x = -2x
-4 + -2x = 4 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
-4 + -2x = 4 + 0
-4 + -2x = 4
Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + -2x = 4 + 4
Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -2x = 4 + 4
-2x = 4 + 4
Combine like terms: 4 + 4 = 8
-2x = 8
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -4
Simplifying
x = -4
