Answer:

EG = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If a line bisects another line that means the point of intersection

divides the second line into two equal parts

∵ EF bisects CD at G

∴ CG = GD

∵ CG = 5x - 1

∵ GD = 7x - 13

∴ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

* Lets solve the equation

∵ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

- Subtract 5x from both sides and add 13 to both sides

∴ 7x - 5x = 13 - 1

∴ 2x = 12

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 6

- Point G divides EF into two parts EG and GF

∴ EF = EG + GF

∵ EF = 6x - 4

- Substitute the value of x to find EF

∵ x = 6

∴ EF = 6(6) - 4 = 36 - 4 = 32

∴ EF = 32

∵ GF = 13

- Substitute the values of EF and GF in the equation of EF

∴ 32 = EG + 13

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 19 = EG

* EG = 19

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The order of fruit from least to greatest weight is -

Apple , pear, navel orange, grapefruit

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - Sophia buys an apple that weighs 0.45 pound, a grapefruit that weighs $\frac{3}{4}$ pound, a navel orange that weighs $\frac{5}{8}$ pound, and a pear that weighs 0.5 pound.

To find - What is the order of the fruit from least weight to the greatest weight ?

Proof -

Weight of apple = 0.45 pound

Weight of grapefruit = $\frac{3}{4}$ pound = 0.75 pound

Weight of navel orange = $\frac{5}{8}$ pound = 0.625 pound

Weight of a pear = 0.5 pound

As,

0.45 < 0.5 < 0.625 < 0.75

So, The order of fruit from least to greatest weight is -

Apple , pear, navel orange, grapefruit

Which function has the same y-intercept as the function y equals 2/3 x - 3

aleksley [76]

We have the function $y = \frac{2}{3} x -3$ and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.

First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.

$y = \frac{2}{3} (0) -3 = -3$

Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: $y = ax - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.

Also, any quadratic function of the type: $y=ax^{2} + bx - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.
