Answer:

X = 4, Y = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of side CK is equal to the length of WM, then you can make the equation 6y-4 = 18. then you just add 4 to each side and divide both sides by six to get 3. Same thing for the other equation. Angle (i think its an angle due to its placement) C is equal to angle M, so you can make the equation 3x + 7 = 19. Subtract seven from both sides then divide by 3 to get 4. Tell me if you have any questions :)

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We know the triangles are congruent, so if you were to flip one of the triangles onto the other, the will perfectly match up, allowing us to solve for x and y.

19 = 3x + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides.

12 = 3x

Divide each side by 3.

4 = x

14 = 6y - 4

Add 4 to each side.

18 = 6y

Divide each side by 6.

3 = y

x = 4

y = 3
