Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
These two angles are corresponding angles and as such, they are equal.
Equation
8x+ 36 = 5x + 72
Solution
Subtract 5x from both sides
8x - 5x + 36 = 5x - 5x + 72 Combine like terms.
3x + 36 = 72 Subtract 36 from both sides
3x + 36 - 36 = 72 - 36 Collect like terms
3x = 36 Divide by 3
3x/3 = 36/3 Divide
x = 12 Answer
The coordinates for D are (-4, -7)
First we must locate point B as it is vital to finding the midpoint of BD. To do this, we take the average of the endpoints AC since B is its midpoint.
x values = -9 + 1 = -8
Then divide by 2 for the average -8/2 = -4
y values = -4 + 6 = 2
Then divide by 2 for the average 2/2 = 1
Therefore B must be (-4, 1)
Now we know the values of E must be the average of B and D. So we can write equations for each coordinate since we know they are averages.
x - values = (Bx + Dx)/2 = Ex
(-4 + Dx)/2 = -4 ---> multiply both sides by 2
-4 + Dx = -8 ---> add -4 to both sides
Dx = -4
y - values = (By + Dy)/2 = Ey
(1 + Dy)/2 = -3 ---> multiply both sides by 2
1 + Dy = -6 ---> subtract 1 from both side
Dy = -7
So the coordinates for D must be (-4, -7)
Your answer is 1/4, -7/3,-4
This is not a question...please rephrase.
Unlike terms displays terms which are not the same. x+2y would be the answer.
