The answer is x=13
I hope this helps!
Ask me for the work!
8 because 25% is 1/4 of how much he has so just multiply 2 by 4
Answer:
D, B, C, A
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the equations by combining like terms, isolating the variable, and dividing the equation by the coefficient of the variable.
Doing this, the first equation should be 2, the second equation should be -2, the third equation should be -1, and the last equation should be -6.
Then, we can order them.
Remember the order of operations.
Dividing fractions means multiplying a reciprocal.
3÷1/3=3×3/1=9
9-9+1=1
1 is your answer.

Answers:
x = 4
EF = 14
CF = 7
EC = 7

Work Shown:
C is the midpoint of segment EF. This means that EC = CF. In other words, the two pieces are congruent.
Use substitution and solve for x
EC = CF
5x-13 = 3x-5
5x-13+13 = 3x-5+13
5x = 3x+8
5x-3x = 3x+8-3x
2x = 8
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
Now that we know that x = 4, we can use this to find EC and CF
Let's compute EC
EC = 5x - 13
EC = 5*x - 13
EC = 5*4 - 13 ... replace x with 4
EC = 20 - 13
EC = 7
Let's compute CF
CF = 3x - 5
CF = 3*x - 5
CF = 3*4 - 5 ... replace x with 4
CF = 12 - 5
CF = 7
As expected, EC = CF (both are 7 units long).
By the segment addition postulate, we can say EC+CF = EF
EC+CF = EF
EF = EC+CF
EF = 7+7
EF = 14
