<h3>Jason bought 20 stamps of $0.41 each and 8 postcards of $0.26 each.</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let stamps be s and postcards be p
Given that,
The number of stamps was 4 more than twice the number of postcards
s = 4 + 2p -------- eqn 1
Jason bought both 41-cent stamps and 26-cent postcards and spent $10.28
41 cent = $ 0.41
26 cent = $ 0.26
Therefore,

0.41s + 0.26p = 10.28 --------- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
0.41(4 + 2p) + 0.26p = 10.28
1.64 + 0.82p + 0.26p = 10.28
1.08p = 10.28 - 1.64
1.08p = 8.64
Divide both sides by 1.08
p = 8
Substitute p = 8 in eqn 1
s = 4 + 2(8)
s = 4 + 16
s = 20
Thus Jason bought 20 stamps and 8 post cards
According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:
x=y+1 ...(1)
2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)
By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,
2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3
2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.
2y + 5 = 3y + 3
2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.
2y = 3y - 2
2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.
-y = -2
So, y=2
Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,
x= 2+1
=3
So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.
So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.
