Answer:

x = 8, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating corresponding x and y coordinates , then

- y = - x + 5 ( multiply through by - 1 )

y = x - 5 → (1)

2x - 5y = 1 → (2)

Substitute y = x - 5 into (2)

2x - 5(x - 5) = 1 ← distribute and simplify left side

2x - 5x + 25 = 1

- 3x + 25 = 1 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

- 3x = - 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = 8 - 5 = 3

The triangles shown below must be congruent . True or false ?

Leokris [45]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are the same, but we know nothing about the sides

For triangles to be congruent, the sides have to be the same length

Since we don't have information about the sides, we do not know if they are congruent.
