12

x+5=17
17-5=12
An easy way to do this problem is to subtract 17 and 5, so when you do that, the answer would be 12.

Find the values of x and y that make these triangles congruent by the HL Theorem.

RideAnS [48]

According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:

x=y+1 ...(1)

2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)

By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,

2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3

2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.

2y + 5 = 3y + 3

2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.

2y = 3y - 2

2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.

-y = -2

So, y=2

Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,

x= 2+1

So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.

So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.

First to answer gets brainliest

taurus [48]

The answer is A. The Associative Property, followed by the Associative Property.

It's because they want you to group stuff, not simplify them.

Oil leaked from a tank at a rate of r(t) liters per hour. the rate decreased as time passed, and values of the rate at two hour

Galina-37 [17]

The given data is
t, h: 0 2 4 6 8 10
r(t), L/h: 8.6 7.9 6.8 6.4 5.7 5.3

The lower and upper estimates for the total amount that leaked may be computed as the Left and Right Riemann sums.

The shape of the graph of r versus will determine which of the two sums yields an upper or lower sum.
The plot of the graph is shown below.

The Left Riemann sum is
Sl = 2*(8.6+7.9+6.8+6.4+5.7) = 70.8 L

The Right Riemann sum is
Sr = 2*(7.9+6.8+6.4+5.7+5.3) = 64.2 L

Answer:
The lower estimate for oil leakage is 64.2 L
The upper estimate for oil leakage is 70.8 L

ololo11 [35]

Answer: b) Large blue t-shirt & Medium RC jeans

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The subscript numbers attached to the matrix letter represents the:

ROW, COLUMN

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a_{1,1}&a_{1, 2}&a_{1, 3}\\a_{2,1}&a_{2, 2}&a_{2, 3}\\a_{3,1}&a_{3, 2}&a_{3, 3}\end{array}\right] \qquad B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a_{1,1}&b_{1, 2}&b_{1, 3}\\b_{2,1}&b_{2, 2}&b_{2, 3}\\b_{3,1}&b_{3, 2}&b_{3, 3}\end{array}\right]\\$

A₁,₃ = 1st row, 3rd column

1st row is Blue, 3rd column is Large

B₃,₂ = 3rd row, 2nd column

3rd row is RC jeans, 2nd column is Medium

A₁,₃ + B₃,₂ = Large blue t-shirt & Medium RC jeans
