My answer would be 8.. I may not be correct, but I tried. So, I placed the numbers from least to greatest and split it 1’s and 2’s VS 3’s and 4’s. I just added 1 plus 2 plus 2 and a half plus 2 and a half and got 8. I also added (3+3+3)+3 and a half plus 3
Answer: The value of x =2 units.
Explanation:
Since we have given that
AD= CD
BE= EA
So, we get that D and E are the mid-points of AC and AB respectively.
So, by Mid- point theorem , which states that the line joining the two midpoints is parallel to third side and it is half in length of third side i.e.

So, we put the value of DE and BC ,

Hence, the value of x =2 units.
Divide each side by 2 1/4 to get x by itself. The answer is -24 < x and the sign didn't change because we didn't divide by a negative.
Probably feet or meters depending on where he is. I would go with feet
Suppose one bus travels at x km/h, the second bus is 17 km/h slower so it is x-17
the first bus travels a total of 7x km, the second bus travels 7(x-17)km, together they travel the total distance of 1631 km
7x + 7(x-17) =1631
7x + 7x -119 =1631
14x=1750
x=125
x-17=108
