The answer should be I think b
Answer:
1. AB ~= DF
2. Definition of Congruent
3. Reflexive Property of Congruency
4 BD=BD
6. AB+BD=AD; DF+BD=BF
7. Substitution Property of Equality
8. Definition of Congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The given always goes first, and that's the first reason, so AB ~= DF must be the first statement (that should be the congruency symbol).
2. The definition of congruent is that if they are congruent then they are equal. Since that statement made two congruent lines equal, it must be the definition.
3. The reflexive property means something is congruent to itself, and BDis BD, therefore it is the reflexive property.
4. Remember if something is congruent then it is equal.
6. The segment addition postulate states that if we are given two points on a line segment, then AB+AC=AC.
7. In this statement AD was substituted for DF+BD. This can be done because of AB=DF and BD=BD as aforementioned.
8. If two things are congruent then they are equal by definition of congruency.
I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sum of all angles of a parallelogram is equal to 360 degrees, <Z + <Y is half of the parallelogram, and therefore <Z + <Y = 180 degrees.
16x-4 + 7x = 180, combine like terms
23x - 4 = 180, add 4 on both sides (isolate variable)
23x = 184, divide 23 on both sides
x = 8
