The numbers are 10 and 7
X = 10
Y= 7
X + Y = 17
X - Y = 3
-400-(-700)
-140+700
= 300
I hope that's help ! If you have question(s) please let me know
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: SAS = side - angle -side congruence
SSS = side - side - side congruence
Discussion
:
In Plane Geometry, identical triangles are said to be "congruent". There are several ways, depending upon the information you have, to prove 2 triangles are congruent.
In one approach ("SSS") if you can show that 2 triangles have identical side lengths, then the triangles are congruent. (A triangle has 3 sides, hence "SSS" -- 3 S's; 3 sides, get it?)
In another approach ("SAS") if you can show that 2 sides, and the angle included between those sides, in one triangle are identical to the sides and included angle in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
It's easier to understand this with a picture or diagram than in words. Please review the SSS, SAS picture in your textbook

K = -48
1. subtract 5 from both sides
-4 = k/12
2. multiply 12 from both sides to get k alone
-48 = k
<span>"The company pays $55 a day for food and lodging and $0.45 for each mile traveled" means that if she travels
m miles and is on a trip for
x days then Rita will receive:
55x + 0.45m dollars.
Rita drove 300 miles, means that m=300. Thus </span>
55x + 0.45m becomes <span>
</span>

(dollars.)
She was reimbursed $2,335 means that

.
Part A:

.
Part B:
We are given the equation 55x+135=2,335. Subtracting 135 from both sides we have:
55x=2,335-135=2,200.
Dividing both sides by 55, we get: x=2,200/55=40.
Part C: since x represents the number of days Rita spend on this trip, and x=40, then Rita spent 40 days on this trip.
