Answer:

Shirts:  $8

Pants:  $13

Step-by-step explanation:

2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants costs $42.

2x + 2y = 42

3 shirts and 1 pair of pants costs $37.

3x + y = 37

Use substitution to solve.  Rearrange the second equation so that it is equal to y.  Plug in the value for y into the first equation.

3x + y = 37

y = 37 - 3x

2x + 2y = 42

2x + 2(37 - 3x) = 42

2x + 74 - 6x = 42

74 - 4x = 42

-4x = -32

x = 8

Now that you have the value for x, solve for y using one of the equations.  I will use the first equation, but you can use the other one and still get the right answer.

2x + 2y = 42

2(8) + 2y = 42

16 + 2y = 42

2y = 26

y = 13

The shirts cost $8, and the pants cost $13.

Given congruent triangles name the corresponding sides and corresponding angles
Alborosie

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given \triangle ABC\cong \triangle ADC

According to the order of the vertices,

  • side AB in triangle ABC (the first and the second vertices) is congruent to side AD in triangle ADC (the first and the second vertices);
  • side BC in triangle ABC (the second and the third vertices) is congruent to side DC in triangle ADC (the second and the third vertices);
  • side AC in triangle ABC (the first and the third vertices) is congruent to side AC in triangle ADC (the first and the third vertices);
  • angle BAC in triangle ABC is congruent to angle DAC in triangle ADC (the first vertex in each triangle is in the middle when naming the angles);
  • angle ABC in triangle ABC is congruent to angle ADC in triangle ADC (the second vertex in each triangle is in the middle when naming the angles);
  • angle BCA in triangle ABC is congruent to angle DCA in triangle ADC (the third vertex in each triangle is in the middle when naming the angles);
