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

Piece made in 32min factory cut the time by 8% then cut time by 5% how long does it take to make the piece now in min
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

27.968 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

1) we need to find 8% of 32:

32*0.08=2.56

so 8% of 32 is 2.56 mins.

we need to subtract 2.56 by 32 since its says the times was cut by 8%

so

32-2.56=29.44

now 5% of 29.44:

29.44*0.05=1.472

1.472 mins

so

29.44-1.472=27.968

Hope this helps!
