Step-by-step explanation:

Use one of the triangle congruence theorems (SAS, SSS, ASA, AAS, or HL) to prove that △ABC≅△EDC

.

It is given that  ∠FAB≅∠GED

. ∠BAC is the supplement of ∠FAB, and ∠DEC is the supplementary of ∠GED

by the definition of supplementary angles.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the beginning of the task. Angle B A C is highlighted in green. Angle D E C is highlighted in blue.

Notice that ∠BAC

and ∠DEC are supplemental to congruent angles ∠FAB and ∠GED respectively. The Congruent Supplements Theorem states that if two angles are supplementary to two congruent angles, then the two angles are congruent. Therefore, ∠BAC≅∠DEC

by the Congruent Supplements Theorem.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the previous figure. Angles B A C and D E C are congruent and highlighted in blue.

Notice that ∠ACB

and ∠ECD are vertical angles. The Vertical Angles Theorem states that vertical angles are congruent.

Therefore, ∠ACB≅∠ECD

by the Vertical Angles Theorem.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the previous figure. Angles B C A and D C E are congruent and highlighted in red.

It is also given that C

is the midpoint of AE⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

.

By the definition of midpoint, AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯≅EC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the previous figure. Sides A C and C E are congruent and highlighted in red.

So, two pairs of corresponding angles in △ABC

and △EDC are congruent, and the included sides in △ABC and △EDC

are congruent. The Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Therefore, △ABC≅△EDC

by ASA.

Translate these seven statements and reasons into a 2-column proof.

1. ∠FAB≅∠GED

(Given)

2. ∠BAC

is the supp. of ∠FAB; ∠DEC is the supp. of ∠GED (Def. of Supp. ∠

s)

3. ∠BAC≅∠DEC

(≅

Supp. Thm.)

4. ∠ACB≅∠DCE

(Vert. ∠

s Thm.)

5. C

is the midpoint of AE⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

(Given)

6. AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯≅EC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

(Def. of mdpt.)

7. △ABC≅△EDC

(by ASA)

There you go

2x-4y=8 and 7x-3y=61 solve by substitution
Ratling [72]

Answer:

(10, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by Substitution

2x − 4y = 8 and 7x − 3y = 61

Solve for x in the first equation.

x = 4 + 2y 7x − 3y = 61

Replace all occurrences of x with 4 + 2y in each e quation.

Replace all occurrences of x in 7x − 3y = 61 with 4 + 2y. 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y = 61

x = 4 + 2y

Simplify 7 (4 + 2y) − 3y.

28 + 11y = 61

x = 4 + 2y

Solve for y in the first equation.

Move all terms not containing y to the right side of the equation.

11y = 33

x = 4 + 2y

 Divide each term by 11 and simplify.

y = 3

x = 4 + 2y

 

Replace all occurrences of y with 3 in each equation.

Replace all occurrences of y in x = 4 + 2y with 3. x = 4 + 2 (3)

y = 3

Simplify 4 + 2 (3).

x = 10

y = 3

The solution to the system is the complete set of ordered pairs that are valid solutions.

(10, 3)

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

(10, 3)

Equation Form:

x = 10, y = 3
