2. A boy and his father played 26 games of checkers. For every game the boy lost, he gave his father 5 cents. For every game the boy won, his father gave him 8 cents. When all the games were played, neither had won nor lost anything. The number of games the boy won i

the boy won 10 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call B as the number of games won by the boy, and F as the number of games won by the father.

We know that, there is a total of 26 games:

B + F = 26.

We know that in each game won by the boy, he wins 8 cents, for every game that the father wins, the boy losses 5 cents, and we know that at the end of the 26 games, the boy did not win or lose any money, so we have:

B*8 + F*(-5) = 0.

Then we have a system of equations:

B + F = 26

8*B - 5*F = 0.

The first step is isolating one of the variables. Let's start isolating F in the first equation:

B + F = 26

F = 26 - B.

Now we can replace this in the second equation:

8*B - 5*F = 0

8*B - 5*(26 - B) = 0

8*B + 5*B - 5*26 = 0

13*B = 5*26

B = 5*26/13 = 5*2 = 10

So the boy won 10 games (then the father won the other 16 games)

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
