DF =DE + EF
4x-8 = x-4 + 2x+5 
4x - 8 = 3x + 1
4x - 3x = 1 + 8
x = 9

Answer:  The required value of x is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that point E is between the points D and F.

Also, DE = x - 4, EF = 2x + 5  and DF = 4x - 8.

We are to find the value of x.

Since the point E lies between the points D and F, so we must have

DE+EF=DF\\\\\Rightarrow (x-4)+(2x+5)=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+1=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3x=1+8\\\\\Rightarrow x=9.

Thus, the required value of x is 9.

Answer:

  70° (number in the blank at the bottom)

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to know the meaning of "complement of an angle."

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°. So, the complement of 20° is the angle that makes the total 90°. It is 70°.

The line at the bottom of the figure tells you how to work the problem. It says "the cosine of an angle is the sine of its complement." If you put numbers in this statement, it tells you ...

  the cosine of 20° is the sine of 70°

So, the answer to the question at the top of the page is ...

  look up the value of sin(70°) in the table

Why is it useful to write a ratio of fractions as a unit rate
Illusion [34]

A "unit rate" has a denominator of 1. That will often simplify any subsequent math operations.

_____

The choice of the form of a ratio should be made based on what you need to do with it. Sometimes, a denominator other than 1 is appropriate to follow-on operations you may need to perform.
