we have that

*-------------------------*--------------------------------*

E F G

EF=2x-12

FG= 3x-15

EG=23

we know that

EF + FG = EG

[2x - 12] + [3x - 15] = 23 simplify

5x - 27 = 23 add 27 to both sides

5x = 50 divide both sides by 5

x = 10

EF=2x-12-------> EF=2*10-12-------> EF=8

FG= 3x-15------> FG=3*10-15------> FG=15

therefore

the answer part a) is

the value of x is 10

the answer part b) is

the value of EF is 8

the answer part c) is

the value of FG is 15

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b/c we know that these triangles both have equal sides... that is given that ab and be are the same length. and that be and cd are parallel , we know that they both are isosceles triangles and that the base angles are the same. The side on ad and ae have equal angles.

so we can make the equation

2a +56 = 180 (b/c we know that around a triangle it's 180°

2 a = 124

a = 62

so ∠ BAE = 62°

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,1) and (4,4)?

Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{8} x + \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

☆Remember: $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

☆Remember: Slope-intercept form -> y = mx + b

☆Now. We first need to find the slope.

$m = \frac{4 - 1}{4 - (- 4)} = \frac{3}{8}$

☆Now the y-intercept.

$y = mx + b \\ \\ 4 = \frac{3}{8} (4) + b \\ \\ 4 = \frac{3}{2} + b \\ \frac{ - \frac{ 3}{ 2} = - \frac{ 3}{ 2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{ \frac{5}{2} = b }$
