Question

Circles M and K are congruent, QR≅LN and OP≅VW. Find x and y. I know y=2, so does that make x=1? (Diagram below)

Answer 1

@swissgirl

Answer 2

why do u think it is 1, how did u get y = 2

Answer 3

Wait, is Y not 2? :/

Answer 4

qr = ln
qr is x+y
ln = 6
so
x+y=6
can you come up with another equation based on the other congruence relationship

Answer 5

3x-y=10 ?

Answer 6

okay so you have these 2 equations with 2 unknowns
can you solve this system for x and y

Answer 7

x+y=6
3x-y=10

Answer 8

x=4

Answer 9

Or did I just do that wrong?

Answer 10

I combined the equations and got 4x=16

Answer 11

very good

Answer 12

So how do I solve for y? Or is y 2? @swissgirl

Answer 13

Since x=4
you can plug that into either equation
x+y=6
or
3x-y=10
see what y has to be
