Reptile sand is sold for $8 a bag. vitamin pellets are sold in packs of 12 for $6. michael bought 2 packs of vitamins and one bag of sand. which equation shows how much michael spent, where m represents the amount he spent? $8 (2 �� $6) = m ($8 �� 2) $6 = m $8 $12 $6 = m 2($8 �� $6) = m

step-by-step explanation:

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
