Answer:

-8 + x = 14

Number = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

First, we know that we'll be using addition to find the number because the problem says "increased" which means add or addition.

Next, We also know that the starting number is -8 and the answer to the equation is 14.

That's why the equation is -8 (starting number) + x = 14 (ending number)

Therefore the answer would be: -8 + x = 14

FG is the midsegment of isosceles triangle ABC, and KM is the midsegment of trapezoid CDEF. EF || KM || DC. Find the following m

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:Well, you didn't include the shape, but I believe I already know it, I've actually answered this problem before:

Point FG is located at half distance down the side of the triangle. BC would be twice as much as that of BF, and BF is equal to 20 according to the problem. 20*2=40, so BC=40.

GF is at the bottom, and is half the size of ABC, Gf is thus half the size of AC, making GF=15.

GF and GE are the same lengths, so GE is 15 as well. DA is the same as GE, so this means DA is also 15. If AC is 30, and DA is 15, then 30+15=45. Making CD=45.

KM is at the midpoint of DEFC, making LM be halfway between GF and AC. GF was 15 and AC was 30, you must find the average. LM=22.5

KL is parralel to DA and KD is parralel to LA, DKLA must be a parralelogram. KL is the same as DA, which is the same as GF and GE.

We know LM is 22.5, and if KL is also 15, then KM=22.5+15, 37.5

BC=40

GF=15

CD=45

KM=37.5
