Answer:

B) 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If DE is midsegment of the triangle, we know that AC measures twice as DE.

In the problem we have that AC = x + 15 and DE = x + 5

Writing this as an equation we have:

x + 15 = 2(x+5)\\x+15=2x +10\\15-10=2x-x\\5=x

Therefore x = 5 and the length of segment DE is:

x + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10

Therefore the correct answer is B) 10

Somebody please help with this problem
Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that AE=BE and \angle1\cong \angle2.

We can see that angle CEA is vertical angle of angle DEB, therefore, m\angle CEA=m\angle DEB as vertical angles are congruent.

We can see in triangles CEA and DEF that two angles and included sides are congruent.

\angle 1\cong \angle 2

AE=BE

\angle CEA\cong\angle DEB or \angle 3\cong \angle 4  

Therefore, \Delta CEA\cong \Delta DEB by ASA postulate.

Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, therefore CE must be congruent to DE.

Let f(x)=x^2+5x-8. What is the average rate of change from x = 2 to x = 6? Enter the answer in the box ___
koban [17]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) in the closed interval [ a, b ] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Here [ a, b ] = [2, 6 ]

f(b) = f(6) = 6² + 5(6) - 8 = 36 + 30 - 8 = 58

f(a) = f(2) = 2² + 5(2) - 8 = 4 + 10 - 8 = 6

Hence

average rate of change = \frac{58-6}{6-2} = \frac{52}{4} = 13

Solve the equation for x 120(2x − 2) = 240
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, follow the order of operations as laid out below.

120(2x - 2) = 240 ----> Divide both sides by 120

2x - 2 = 2 ----> Add 2 to both sides

2x = 4 ------> Divide both sides by 2

x = 2
