Question

Please help me with this problem. I will attach the problem. Thank you so much!

Answer 1

anyone explain this...I just can't figure it out

Answer 2

I'm not sure what the HL theorem is
but if the triangles are congruent it means that the corresponding sides are all equal

so we can write

x + 4 = 3y + 1
and
x = 2y

Answer 3

you need to solve these 2 equations to get the values of x and y

Answer 4

to solve them
replace x in the first equation by 2y ( as we are given x = 2y in second equn)

then solve this equation for y

then find value of x from x = 2y

Answer 5

have you solved 2 equations like this before?

Answer 6

another way to do this would be to plug in the values of x and y given in the options and see whhich ones fit into the 2 equations

Answer 7

2y + 4 = 3y + 1
- 1 = -1
2y + 3 = 3y
-2y = -2y
3 = 1y
3/1=1y/1
3 = y
??? is that right??
