Find the lengths of DE and EF. Note: Segments BC and DF are parallel

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Segments BC and DF are parallel, then the following proportion must be satisfied:

BE/EC = DE/EF

Replacing with data from the picture:

3/5 = (5x - 4 + 3)/(5 + 4x + 2)

3*(7 + 4x) =  (5x - 1)*5

21 + 12x = 25x - 5

21 + 5 = 25x - 12x

26 = 13x

x =  2

Then,

DE =  5x - 4 + 3 = 5(2) - 4 + 3 = 9 cm

EF = 5 + 4x + 2 = 5 + 4(2) + 2 = 15 cm

Answer:

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to create a proportion ( it being 5x-4/3=4x+2/5) then after you cross multiply from that proportion you plug in x. and don't forget to add the other part of the triangle as well.

Answer:

  x = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of x is part of the value of an angle in a triangle where the other angles are known. This suggests that the relevant theorem is the "angle sum theorem," which tells you <em>the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°</em>.

This gives you the equation ...

  60° +60° +(4x+10°) = 180° . . . . total of all angles is 180°

  4x +130° = 180° . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  4x = 50° . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 130° from both sides

  x = 12.5° . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 4

Moonshine Problem: How many gallons of 20% moonshine and how many gallons of 30% moonshine have to be mixed together to make 100
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

50 gallons 20%

50 gallons 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is gallons of 20% moonshine, and y is gallons of 30% moonshine, then:

x + y = 100

0.20x + 0.30y = 0.25(100)

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

0.20x + 0.30(100 − x) = 0.25(100)

0.20x + 30 − 0.30x = 25

5 = 0.10x

x = 50

y = 50
