Answer:

The correct answer is x = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first must recognize that DE + EF = DF.

From this information, we can set up the following equation when we substitute in the given values:

DE + EF = DF

(4x-1) + 9 = 9x - 22

Our first step is going to be to combine like terms on the left side of the equation.  This is modeled below:

4x - 1 + 9 = 9x - 22

4x + 8 = 9x - 22

Then, we should subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.

8 = 5x - 22

Now, we can add 22 to both sides of the equation.

30 = 5x

Finally, we can divide both sides by 5.

x = 6

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 6.

Hope this helps!

3. Factor.
sleet_krkn [62]
It seems that some the work is already here, but I'd be glad to!! So for #3 which is 9x^2+15x, we can factor out both a 3 and an x (3x) so we know that 3x * 3x =9x^2 and 3x * 5 = 15x so once we take the 3x out of the equation, we are left with 3x(3x+5) and that's as far as you can factor.
For #4, we see that the common factor is 10m because 10m * 2n = 20mn and 10m * 3 = 30m so once we take 10m out of the original, it becomes 10m(2n-3)
For #5, this one the common factor is 4xy because 4xy * 2xy=8x^2y^2 and 4xy*x= 4x^2y and 4xy*3=12xy so once we take the 4xy out of the equation, it becomes 4xy(2xy-x-3)
Hope this helps!
