|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

The price would go down as people would be more willing to buy cheaper potatoes and the producers would want to sell them for a lower price to get rid of them easy and fast.
Answer:
The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoint of a segment:
The midpoint of a segment is given by the mean of its coordinates.
Segment with end points (4,2),(-5,-1)
x-coordinates: 4 and -5
y-coordinates: 2 and -1
x-coordinate of the midpoint:

y-coordinate of the midpoint:

The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).
You can solve this by using "similar triangles".
In triangle ABC, we are looking for side AC which is x. Side AC is similar to side DF in triangle EDF.
You can solve for side x by picking two sides in triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle EDF. This is what I mean:

Substitute for the values of AC, BC, DF and EF:


To solve for y, do the same thing. Pick two sides on triangle ABC and their corresponding sides in triangle DEF.

Substitute for the values and solve:


We have the value x to be 5.5 units and y to be 6 units.
