Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
D is halfway between A and B
so the coordinates of D are (2,2)
E is halfway between A and C so the coordinates of E are (-1,1)
now you need to find the gradient/slope of DE and BC using the formula:

<h3>
<u>G</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>E</u><u>:</u><u> </u></h3>
SUB IN COORDINATES OF D AND E

therefore the gradient of DE is 1/3.
<h3>
<u>G</u><u>r</u><u>a</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>B</u><u>C</u><u>:</u></h3>
<em>S</em><em>U</em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>I</em><em>N</em><em> </em><em>C</em><em>O</em><em>O</em><em>R</em><em>D</em><em>I</em><em>N</em><em>A</em><em>T</em><em>E</em><em>S</em><em> </em><em>O</em><em>F</em><em> </em><em>B</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em>N</em><em>D</em><em> </em><em>C</em>
<em>
</em>
therefore the gradient of BC is -2/-6 which simplifies to 1/3.
<h3>
therefore, BC and DE are parallel as they both have a gradient/slope of 1/3 and parallel lines have the same gradient</h3>
Answer:
22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
125
x 18
---------
1. first set up your problem
2 4
125
x 18
------
1000
2. next multiply the 8 by 5 getting 40, drop the 0 anf move the 4 to the top above 2.
3. multiply 8 by 2 getting 16, then add the 4 you have ontop of the 2 to the 16 getting 20. Drop the 0 and bring the 2 over and place it above the one.
4. multiply 8 by 1 getting 8 then add the 2 above the 1 to 8 getting 10. Then put the ten infront of the tw zeros. 1000
125
x 18
--------
1000
0
Next add a 0 as a place filler under the 0 at the end.
125
x 18
-------
1000
1250
Then multiply the 1 by 5, then 1 by 2, then finnaly 1 by 1, getting you 1250.
1000
+1250
add together
getting 2250
then move 2 decimal places over to get 22.5
Well, first off, to solve for this, we can write the expression and then solve from there.
Expression: 8x + 3 = 29
So, now that we have our expression, we can solve for our missing number using the balancing method.
8x + 3 = 29
8x + 3 - 3 = 29 - 3 (we subtracted the three because we needed to get rid of the three on the left side of the equation do now we are just left with 8x = 26.
8x = 26
8x/8 = 26/8. (So, the 8 on the left side cancels out and we are just left with X.
X = 26/8
X = 13/4
X = 3 and 1/4
So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is: X = 3 and 1/4 as a mixed number or 13/4 as an improper fraction.
Glad I could help!
