The answers A. 2(2)+ 3 = 7 and 3(2) + 1 = 7

Answer:

A) X = 2, Y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For HL, the hypotenuse of one triangle must be congruent to the hypotenuse of the other, and the leg of one triangle must be congruent to the corresponding leg of the other triangle.

This means that we know x = y, and that 2x+3 = 3y+1.

Substituting x in place of y gives us

2x+3 = 3x+1

Subtract 2x from each side:

2x+3-2x = 3x+1-2x

3 = x+1

Subtract 1 from each side:

3-1 = x+1-1

2 = x

This means that x = 2 and y = 2, since they are equal.
