She should multiply y = x - 2 by -4...that way one x will be -4x and the other will be 4x and they will cancel out when added.
answer is -4
<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:
- By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
- ∠BEC = ∠DFC
- Sides BE = DF
<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>
⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem
⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC
⇒ the two triangles are similar
Hope that helps!
<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>
- <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
- <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>
<em />
The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.
The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent.
Just like the bottom left angle measures x, the bottom right angle also measures x.
x + x + 38 = 180
2x + 38 = 180
2x = 142
x = 71
Answer:
105
Step-by-step explanation:
500 goes into 100, 5 times
21 times 5 is 105
So 21/100 is equal to 105/500
Or you can do
500*0.21=105
The answer is 61.5
