-25 - 12x = -(-8x - 6) - 3(5x + 12)

Distributive property.

-25 - 12x = 8x + 6 - 15x - 36

Combine like terms.

-25 - 12x = -7x - 30

Add 12x to both sides.

-25 = 5x - 30

Add 30 to both sides.

5 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 1

The x-intersect is 1.

Chords AB and CD intersect at point E, AE = 10, EB = 4, and CE = 8. Therefore, ED =
Genrish500 [490]
So here is how we are going to find out what is ED. 
Based on the given figure, it states that, AE is 10, and EB is 4 and CE is 8.
So, <span>(AE/CE)=(ED/EB)
10/8 = ED/4 <<multiply both sides by the common denominator which is 8 and the result would be:
80/8 = 8ED/4
10 = 2ED <<divide both sides by 2 and we get
ED = 5.
Therefore, the measurement of ED is 5. 
Hope this answer helps. Let me know if you need more help next time!</span>

A fisherman can row upstream at 2 mph and downstream at 8 mph. He started rowing upstream until he got tired and then rowed down
Jobisdone [24]

let's recall that d = rt, distance = rate * time.

he went upstream to a distance "d", got tired and came back to his starting point, so he rowed back a distance "d" exactly.

we know the rates, we also know the trip took 2 hours, let's say on the way over he took "t" hours to get there, on the way back he lasted then "2 - t" hours.

\begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ Upstream&d&2&t\\ Downstream&d&8&2-t \end{array}\qquad \qquad \begin{cases} d=2t\\\\ d=8(2-t) \end{cases}

\stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{2t=8(2-t)\implies 2t=16-8t}\implies 10t=16\implies t=\cfrac{16}{10}\implies t=\cfrac{8}{5} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we know that}}{d=2t}\implies d=2\left( \cfrac{8}{5} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{3 miles and 1056 feet}}{d=\cfrac{16}{5}\implies d=3\frac{1}{5}}

3x+4y=2 4x-4y=12 by using elimination
Sidana [21]
(+3x+4y=2)
(+4x-4y=12)
-----------------
7x = 14
-----------------

X=2

3(2)+4y=2
6+4y=2
4y=-4
Y=-1.
Or you can plug x into the other equation.

4(2)-4y=12
8-4y=12
-4y=4
Y=-1.
