Answer:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic,
, think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.

Answer:
EF = 58/7
Step-by-step explanation:
If you extend both BC and AD to meet at P you get 3 similar triangles PAB, PEF, and PCD. Let's call BF = 3x and FC = 4x. Therefore the following proportions can be expressed:
BP/7 = (BP+7x)/10
10BP = 7*(BP+7x)
10BP = 7BP+49x
3BP = 49x
BP = (49/3)x
BP/7 = (BP+3x)/EF
EF = (BP+3x)*7/BP
EF = ((49/3)x + 3x)*7/((49/3)x)
EF = ((58/3)x*7*3)/(49x)
EF = 58/7
I think the answer is B not sure though
