The HL Postulate
You know that the two hypotenuses are congruent and that the two triangles each contain a shared segment in the middle (so by the reflexive property they are congruent). You have two congruent hypotenuses and two congruent legs, so you can conclude congruency by HL.

Answer: fluffy is 11 years old
Scuffy is 8 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the present age of Fluffy the cat.
Let y represent the present age of Scuffy the dog.
Fluffy the cat is 3 years older than Scuffy the dog. This means that
x = y + 3 - - - - - -- - - - - 1
Six less than five times Scruffy's age is one more than three times Fluffy's age. This means that
5y - 6 = 3x + 1
5y - 3x = 1 + 6
5y - 3x = 7 - - - - - - - - - -2
Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes
5y - 3(y + 3) = 7
5y - 3y - 9 = 7
5y - 3y = 7 + 9
2y = 16
y = 16/2 = 8
x = y + 3
x = 8 + 3 = 11
Answer:
The x-intercept is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, we need to note that the x-intercept is the value of x, when y = 0. So we plug in y = 0 and see what the x value is.
3x - 6y = 2
3x - 6(0) = 2
3x = 2
x = 2/3
The y-intercept is the opposite. It is the y value when x = 0. So we do the same with the other term.
3x - 6y = 2
3(0) - 6y = 2
-6y = 2
y = -2/6
y = -1/3
