Answer:

Part a) ABD and CDE are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Part b) x=18\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the  ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this figure Triangles ABD and CDE are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BD}{CD}

substitute the values

\frac{x}{6}=\frac{12}{4}

x=6*12/4=18\ units

Say you want to buy x shirts which cost 2$ each and add tax which is $0.75. You have 13$ to make your purchase.
kobusy [5.1K]
EDIT: 
2x + 0.75 = 13
Add like terms
2x= 13-0.75
2x= 12.25
x= 12.25/2
x=6.125
You can buy 6 whole shirts with $0.25 left over

Hope this helps! A thanks/brainliest answer would be appreciated :)

Help! Clear the fractions
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

x = - \frac{27}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{5}{6} x + 2 = \frac{7}{8}

Multiply through by 24 ( the LCM of 6 and 8 ) to clear the fractions

20x + 48 = 21 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

20x = - 27 ( divide both sides by 20 )

x = - \frac{27}{20}
