Answer: Distributive Property
Answer:
C. x = 3, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If both triangles are congruent by the HL Theorem, then their hypotenuse and a corresponding leg would be equal to each other.
Thus:
x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1) => equal hypotenuse
Also,
x = y + 1 (eqn. 2) => equal legs
✔️Substitute x = y + 1 into eqn. 1 to find y.
x + 3 = 3y (eqn. 1)
(y + 1) + 3 = 3y
y + 1 + 3 = 3y
y + 4 = 3y
y + 4 - y = 3y - y
4 = 2y
Divide both sides by 2
4/2 = 2y/2
2 = y
y = 2
✔️ Substitute y = 2 into eqn. 2 to find x.
x = y + 1 (eqn. 2)
x = 2 + 1
x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the temperatures of Miami and Bangor be M and B degrees respectively.
According to the given information:
M = 3B + 22... (required equation)
Plug M = 82
82 = 3B + 22
82 - 22 = 3B
60 = 3B
B = 60/3
B = 20 degrees
Thus, the temperature in Bangor is 20 degrees.
