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.

Jack biked to his friend house at a speed of 10 mph. When he was returning home it was raining. So he biked much slower - at 6 m
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

If distance is "1 round trip", then the time going is ...

  going = 0.5/(10 mi/h) . . . . for 1/2 round trip

and the time coming is ...

  coming = 0.5/(6 mi/h)

Then the average speed for the full round trip is ...

  speed = distance/time

  average speed = 1/(going + coming) = 1/(0.5/10 +0.5/6) mi/h

  = 1/((3+5)/60) mi/h

  = 60/8 mi/h = 7.5 mi/h

Jack's average speed for the round trip was 7.5 mph.
