Answer:

The number of times over the Weekend that:

Ashley watched TV = x = 12 hours

Gabby watched TV = y = 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

The number of times

Ashley watched TV = x

Gabby watched TV = y

Together, Ashley and Gabby watched a total of 14 hours of television over the weekend.

= x + y = 14..... Equation 1

x = 14 - y

Ashley watched 6 times as many hours as Gabby.

x = 6y

Using substitution method

We substitute 14 - y for x

14 - y = 6y

14 = 6y + y

14 = 7y

y = 14/7

y = 2 hours

Solving for x

x = 14 - y

x = 14 - 2

x = 12 hours

Therefore:

The number of times over the Weekend that:

Ashley watched TV = x = 12 hours

Gabby watched TV = y = 6 hours

I don't get the subject of congruent triangles. How do I figure out if there's not enough information to know if it is congruent
babymother [125]

Answer:

Okay, there are many ways to find if a triangle is congruent.

Let's start with some different terminology.

For the sake of simplicity let us say that S stands for when a side is congruent for both triangles and A stands for when an angle (<) is congruent between both the triangles as well.

So, you need to memorize some rules. If you find that 2 triangles are congruent in the sense of; SSS, SAS, AAS, SAA, and ASA. One thing to remember is that Angle Side Side isn't congruent and is called <em>Donkey Theorem</em>. This theorem only works for right triangles.

One way to know if your triangle isn't congruent is if you can find a part of the triangle that is different.

I know that wasn't the best explanation but I hope it helped anyhow. :)

Can i have help plzzzzz
leonid [27]

Answers:

Choice C)  1.5 + AB = 3.7

AB = 2.2  cm

====================================================

Explanation:

Segment AC can be cut into two smaller pieces AB and BC. The piece AB is of unknown length for now, while BC is 1.5 units long.

The expression AB+1.5 or 1.5+AB represents us adding those two smaller pieces together. Doing so will lead to the length of AC.

Therefore, 1.5 + AB = 3.7 is one valid equation to set up.

------------

To solve that equation, we subtract 1.5 from both sides to undo the addition operation done to AB.

1.5 + AB = 3.7

AB = 3.7 - 1.5

AB = 2.2

Notice how,

1.5 + AB = 1.5 + 2.2 = 3.7

to help confirm our answer.
