Congruent because 2 is a larger number then one and 1 is a smalled number then 2
First distribute in the 2 on the left side to get 6d+6=7+6d
Then, you would combine the variables to be on one side of the equation by doing -6d. However, this would cancel out the d by leaving you with 0d+6=7. That is the same thing as saying 6=7.
The answer to this equation is no solution because 6 is NOT equal to 7.
1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
Answer:
x = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that BE is parallel to CD and intersects the 2 other sides, then it divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
8x = 60 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7.5
