Simplifying 6(x + -1) = 9(x + 2) Reorder the terms: 6(-1 + x) = 9(x + 2) (-1 * 6 + x * 6) = 9(x + 2) (-6 + 6x) = 9(x + 2) Reorder the terms: -6 + 6x = 9(2 + x) -6 + 6x = (2 * 9 + x * 9) -6 + 6x = (18 + 9x) Solving -6 + 6x = 18 + 9x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9x' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6x + -9x = 18 + 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 6x + -9x = -3x -6 + -3x = 18 + 9x + -9x Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0 -6 + -3x = 18 + 0 -6 + -3x = 18 Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + -3x = 18 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + -3x = 18 + 6 -3x = 18 + 6 Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24 -3x = 24 Divide each side by '-3'. x = -8 Simplifying x = -8

Prove that the triangle EDF is isosceles. Give reasons for your answer.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

$\triangle EDF$ is isosceles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please have a look at the attached figure.

We are given the following things:

$\angle EDF = y$

$\text{External }\angle DFG = 90 +\dfrac{y}{2}$

Let us try to find out $\angle E$ and $\angle DFE$ . After that we will compare them.

Finding  $\angle DFE$ :

Side EG is a straight line so $\angle GFE = 180$

$\angle GFE$ is sum of internal $\angle DFE$ and external $\angle DFG$

$\angle GFE = 180 = \angle DFE + \angle DFG\\\Rightarrow 180 = \angle DFE + (90+\dfrac{y}{2})\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 180 - 90 - \dfrac{y}{2}\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 90 - \dfrac{y}{2} ....... (1)$
