Type the correct answer in each box. spell all words correctly, and use numerals instead of words for numbers. if necessary, use / for the fraction
bar(s).
x + 3

aabc and afde are congruent by the

criterion. (use the three-letter abbreviation without spaces.)
the value of x is
, and the value of y is

next

3(x + 2y = 9) = 3x + 6y = 27 < I multiplied this equation by 3 to get the y value to cancel with the y value of the next equation

2(-x - 3y = -14) = -2x - 6y = -28 , I multiplied this equation by 2 to get the y value to cancel with the y value of the previous equation

   3x + 6y = 27

+ 2x  - 6y = -28

5x             = 55
             x  = 55/5
             x = 11

Then plug the 11 into one of the equations to solve for y.

x + 2y = 9
(11) + 2y = 9
           2y = 9 - 11
           2y = -2
             y = -2/2
             y = -1

hope this helps :)
