Answer:

x = 9

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Side-Side-Side or SSS means that if all three sides of one triangle are equal to all three corresponding sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are considered to be congruent (equal).

Therefore, GH = PM  ⇒  7x + 8 = 6y - 7

and,            GP = HM  ⇒  8x - 10 = 5y - 3

Rewrite the first expression to make x the subject, then substitute this into the second equation, and solve for y:

         GH = PM  

⇒  7x + 8 = 6y - 7

⇒        7x = 6y - 15

⇒           x = (6/7)y - 15/7

Substituting  x = (6/7)y - 15/7  into GP = HM:

                              GP = HM  

⇒                      8x - 10 = 5y - 3

⇒  8[(6/7)y - 15/7] - 10 = 5y - 3

⇒  (48/7)y - 120/7 - 10 = 5y - 3

⇒                      (13/7)y = 169/7

⇒                               y = 13

Now we have found a value for y, substitute this into one of the expressions and solve for x:

    8x - 10 = 5y - 3

⇒  8x - 10 = (5 x 13) - 3

⇒  8x - 10 = 62

⇒          8x = 72

⇒            x = 9

If the triangle on the grid below is translated by using the (x,y) -> (x+5, y-2) rule, what will be the coordinates of B'?
Art [367]
We know that
the coordinates of point B ( -5,0)

the translation has the following rule
(x,y)--------> (x+5, y-2)
so
(-5,0)-----> (-5+5,0-2)-----> (0,-2)

the answer is

18% of $36.43 = $6.60  (6.5574)

$6.60 + $36.43 (price of food without tip)

$6.60 + $36.43 = $43.03
