For what values of x and y are the triangles to the right congruent by HL?

x = 28/3

y = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are congruent, then corresponding sides are equal.

x = 4y

x + 1 = y + 8

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

4y + 1 = y + 8

3y = 7

y = 7/3

Solving for x:

x = 28/3

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
