ED = x - 5 given

DG = 4x - 38 given

ED = DG definition of midpoint

x - 5 = 4x - 38 substitution

-5 = 3x - 38 subtraction property of equality (subtracted x from both sides)

33 = 3x addition property of equality (added 38 to both sides)

11 = x division property of equality (divided 3 from both sides)

ED = x - 5 → ED = 11 - 5 → ED = 6 substitution

since ED = DG, then DG = 6 transitive property

ED + DG = EG segment addition property

6 + 6 = EG substitution

12 = EG simplified like terms

Answer: 12

The ratio of the price of a used washer to a new one is 1:3. If the new washer cost $720 how much could you resell it used?

Alja [10]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
used&new\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1&3\\
u&720
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{u}=\cfrac{3}{720}\implies \cfrac{720\cdot 1}{3}=u$

If f(x) is the inverse of g(x) then if f(a)=b then g(b)=a

so if G(s) is the inverse of S(g) then if G(2)=16 then S(16)=2, true

yes, it's true
