Answer:

(7-2x)3 =9-10x

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

we let the number to be x.

twice a number=2x is decreased by 7 that is to say 7-2x, is multiplied by 3, we have (7-2x)3.

the result is 9 less than 10times the number which is =9-10x.

so bringing all these together we have;

(7-2x)3=9-10x.

what is the number?

solving, we have:

(7-2x)3=9-10x

21-6x=9-10x

21-9= -10x+6x

12= -4x

dividing both sides by -4 we have our number

x= -3.

for proof we can substitute x=-3 into the equation.

21-6(-3) =9-10(-3)

21+18=9+30

39=39

Answer:

The correct options are;

EFGH has 4 congruent sides

Diagonal FH bisects angles EFG and EHG

Angle FEH is congruent to angle FGH

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that for a reflection, we have;

The distance of the reflected preimage from the line of reflection = The distance of the reflected image from the line of reflection

Therefore;

The distance of the point E from the line HF = The distance of the point G from the line HF

Also the reflection of an preimage (x, y) about the x-axis, gives an image (x, -y)

We can show that from the length of a line given by the equationl = \sqrt{\left (y_{2}-y_{1}  \right )^{2}+\left (x_{2}-x_{1}  \right )^{2}}, that the length EH ≅ GH and EF ≅ GF

Therefore since we are given that EH = EF, we have;

EH = GH = GF = EF by the definition of congruency, which gives 4 congruent sides

2) Given that EH = GH = GF = EF and HF = FH by reflective property, we have;

ΔEHF ≅ ΔGHF

∴ ∠GHF ≅ ∠EHF by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Similarly, ∠GFH ≅ ∠EFH

Therefore, ∠GFH = ∠EFH and ∠GHF = ∠EHF

Therefore, diagonal FH bisects angles EFG and EHG

3) Given that ΔEHF ≅ ΔGHF, we have;

Angle FEH is congruent to angle FGH, by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent
