Answer: The fraction x = 1/2 or its equivalent decimal form x = 0.5
================================================
Work Shown:
AE = 2*(BD)
4x+8 = 2*(4x+3)
4x+8 = 8x+6
8-6 = 8x-4x
2 = 4x
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 1/2
x = 0.5
note: the first equation is set up basically saying that AE is twice that of BD; put another way, BD is half as long as AE. This is one property of midsegments. Another property is that AE and BD are parallel.
another note: if x = 0.5, then AE = 4*x+8 = 4*0.5+8 = 10 while BD = 4*x+3 = 4*0.5+3 = 5, showing that AE is indeed two times longer than BD.
How many mangos are you buying?
20 x 5 = 100 so just 18 x 5 = 90. 100 - 90= 10
the answer is 10%
I believe the smallest would be D since even though B is a decimal with a lot of zeros in front of the #, B is still a positive # and D is a negative number being lower in the # line, so D or -200 would be the smallest
