Answer:

Option (D)

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since point E is in the mid of the segment DF,

Therefore, by the Segment addition postulate,

DF = DE + EF

Since DF = (8x - 3), DE = (x - 3) and EF = (6x + 5)

By substituting these values in the given postulate,

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

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

8x - 3 = 7x + 2

8x - 7x = 3 + 2

x = 5

Therefore, x = 5 will be the answer.

Ebba is buying bulk fabric and shopping for the best deal. Drag the fabric in order from the least to the greatest unit cost in
Radda [10]

Answer:

2 → 3 → 1 → 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the list of cost of fabric in dollars per square yard.

So, the total cost per square yard of different fabric are:

1. 6.5 for $6.25 = \frac{6.25}{6.5} = 0.96

2. 4 for $3 =  \frac{3}{4} = 0.75

3. 8.5 for $8.10 =  \frac{8.10}{8.5} = 0.95

4. 6 for $7.20 = \frac{7.20}{6} = 1.2

Since, 0.75 < 0.95 < 0.96 < 1.2

Hence, from least to the greatest unit cost, the sequence is 2 → 3 → 1 → 4.
