Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

IF point E lies on the line segment DF, this means that all the points DEF are collinear and DE+EF = DF.

Given parameter

DE = 6

DF = 9

Required

Substituting the given parameter into the expression above to get the required will be;

DE+EF = DF.

EF = DF-DE

EF = 9-6

EF = 3

Hence the length of EF is equivalent to 3

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use $x$ .

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation $5x+5=20$ . Our goal is to find the value of $x$ . <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.
