Answer:

BC = 8 and EF = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangle ABC and DEF are congruent to each other, BC corresponds with EF (as determined by the triangle names).

Set BC and EF equal to each other.

x + 6 = 3x + 2

Subtract x from both sides.

6 = 2x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4 = 2x.

Divide 2 on both sides.

x = 2.

Substitute 2 for x.

BC = 2 + 6

BC = 8

Since we already know that EF is congruent to BC, EF is also 8.

EC = 3(2) + 2

EC = 6 + 2

EC = 8

Boxes of cereal normally cost £2.89 each, but a supermarket has a special offer: Boxes of Cereal 3 for the price of 2

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

9 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Boxes of Cereal 3 for the price of 2, the the price of the 3 boxes of cereals must be : 2 × £2.89 = £5.78

Boxes Megan can buy for the offer = £20 ÷ £5.78 = 3.46 (to 3 s.f.)≈ 3

3 × 3 =9 packs

But they actually only cost : 3 × £5.78 = £17.34

Therefore after buying the offer Megan has £20 - £17.34 = £ 2.66 left, which is not enough to buy a single pack, so the answer is 9.
