Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property states that 
So:

Hope that makes sense!
So triangles bcd and aec are similar. so this makes lines ac and bc similar and lines db and ae similar.
to solve this problem, we just need to do some algebra

now we substitute those values in

which results in

then multiply both sides by 12

soon you should get x=2 with the length of ae being 16
The answer should be
B.)2
Sorry if I'm wrong
Answer:
x=.3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-2)=3x -2
(1x-2)=3(-1x)=3x -2
3(-1x)=3x -2
+3x +3x
3*2x=2
6x=2
6x/6=2/6
x=.3
Answer:
31 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-10=84, given
3x=94, add 10 to both sides
x = 31 1/3, divide both by three
