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

(20+80 divided by 2x8) divided [(54 divided by 9+14)divided by 4]
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write out the equation:

8(20+80/2)/[(54/9+14)/4]

For the first part we get 8(100/2)

Then 50x8

Then 400

For the second part we have (6+14)/4 as we divide 54 by 9. PEMDAS

Then 20/4

Then 5

So our final answer is 400/5 which is 80.

Hope this helps!
