Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If E is the midpoint, Then DE = FE

=> x+5 = 3x+2

=> 3x-x = 5-2

=> 2x = 3

=> x = 3/2

Now DF:

=> 3/2 + 5 + 3(3/2)+2

=> (3+10)/2 + (9+4)/2

=> (13+13)/2

=> 26/2

=> 13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5=3x+2

5=2x+2

3=2x

x=1.5

1.5+5=6.5

6.5 is half of DF, DF=13

164 is 55% of what number? Please somebody help me

monitta

This is how you solve it; but first of all convert the percent into a decimal;55%= 0.55

0.55x = 164 (divide by 0.55 on both sides)
x = 164/0.55
x = 298.18 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
so 164 is 55% of 298.18(rounded)

If the total area of a picture measuring 10 inches by 12 inches plus a matting of uniform width surrounding the picture is 224 s

ELEN [110]

Let
x-----------> uniform width surrounding the picture

we know that
(10+2x)*(12+2x)=224-----> 120+20x+24x+4x²=224
4x²+44x+120-224=0
4x²+44x-104=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure

the solution is
x=2 in

the answer is
2 inches
