Answer:
(x, y) = (2, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
For the triangles to be congruent, the hypotenuses must be the same length:
y = x + 7
and the marked leg must be the same length in each triangle:
y -3 = 4x -2
These are two equations in two unknowns (a "system" of equations) that can be solved in any of the usual ways. Since the first equation gives an expression for y, it is convenient to substitute that into the second equation:
(x +7) -3 = 4x -2
x +4 = 4x -2 . . . . . . collect terms
x +6 = 4x . . . . . . . . .add 2
6 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
y = 2 + 7 = 9 . . . . . .substitute for x in the first equation
The values you're looking for are x = 2, y = 9.
100+ 100+ 100+ 9= 309
200+ 50 +50= 300

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 12 3/4 on 11/4
Four times the sum of is at most -15
4 x ( b+24) < -15
4(b+24)<-15
Grammatically, it's going to be REPORT.
