Which method can you use to prove that the triangles are congruent?

The simplest way to prove that triangles are congruent is to prove that all three sides of the triangle are congruent. When all the sides of two triangles are congruent, the angles of those triangles must also be congruent. This method is called side-side-side, or SSS for short.

the number of pounds of strawberries sold is 14 pounds and the number of pounds of peaches sold is 42 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of strawberries sold.

Let y represent the number of pounds of peaches sold.

Amelia sold 3 times as many pounds of peaches as pounds of strawberries. This means that

y = 3x

Each pound of strawberries sells for $1 and each pound of peaches sells for $4. She made $182 altogether. This means that

x + 4y = 182 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 4×3x = 182

x + 12x = 182

13x = 182

x = 182/13 = 14

y = 3x = 3×14 = 42
