Answer:
The correct option is x=3 , y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the HL theorem if the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and one leg of another 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)
Now we will plug the value y+1 of equation 1 in equation 2.
2x+3 = 3y+3
2(y+1)+3=3y+3
2y+2+3=3y+3
2y+5=3y+3
Now combine the like terms:
5-3=3y-2y
2=y
y=2
Now plug the value y=2 in equation 1.
x=y+1
x=2+1
x=3
Thus the values of(x.y) are{(2,3)}
Therefore the correct option is x=3 , y=2 .....
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
She originally had 23 because if she gave away 6 bags of chips, she would have 17 left
-
17+6=23
double check answer:
23-6=17
9y^3-y^2 is a required answer
Answer:
p=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving a story problem is identifying variables. For this problem, I will identify the variables as:
D = Drew's age
J = Jimmy's age
Once the variables are identified, we need to find as many equations as we have variables. Since we have two variables, we will have to write two equations.
Since Drew is 3 years younger than Jimmy: D + 3 = J
Since the sum of the brothers' ages is 21: D + J = 21
Once I have two equations is two variables, I can solve the system using either substitution method or elimination method. For this problem, I will use substitution method.
D + J = 21 Equation 2
D + (D + 3) = 21 Substitution of value of J from equation 1 into equation 2
D + D + 3 = 21 Associative property of addition
2D + 3 = 21 Simplify
2D + 3 - 3 = 21 - 3 Subtract 3 from each side
2D = 18 Simplify each side
2D/2 = 18/2 Divide each side by 2
D = 9 Simplify each side
Now that we have D, we can substitute it into equation 1 to get the value of J
D + 3 = J Equation 1
9 + 3 = J Substitution
12 = J Simplify
