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

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

We would use to describe numbers from 1 - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We represent the flavors as a set in Roster form.

F = {grape, strawberry, lemon, orange, apple, watermelon}

Note that that there are 6 flavors.

i.e., n(F) = 6

Since we have to assign a number for each flavor, and there are 6 flavors, we would use to describe numbers from 1 - 6.

What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by the factor of 10 and the surface area is 16in

algol [13]

If each linear dimension is scaled by a factor of 10, then the area is scaled by a factor of 100. This is because 10^2 = 10*10 = 100. Consider a 3x3 square with area of 9. If we scaled the square by a linear factor of 10 then it's now a 30x30 square with area 900. The ratio of those two areas is 900/9 = 100. This example shows how the area is 100 times larger.

Going back to the problem at hand, we have the initial surface area of 16 square inches. The box is scaled up so that each dimension is 10 times larger, so the new surface area is 100 times what it used to be

New surface area = 100*(old surface area)
new surface area = 100*16
new surface area = 1600

Final Answer: 1600 square inches
