Let the lengths of EH and FG = x
Let the lengths of EF and HG = x-5
Solve,
X + X + (X-5) + (X-5) = 48
4X - 10 = 48
4X = 58
X = 14.5
EH= 14.5
FG = 14.5
EF = 9.5
HG = 9.5
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
just look at the segment in common
25×2=50
Written in standard form, y decreased by 25 = 10 is y - 25 = 10
Now let's solve:
y - 25 = 10
y = 10 + 25
y = 35
to check:
35 - 25 = 10
so, y equals 35
I find it easier with problems such as these, to turn the fractions into decimals.
2/3 = 0.666
3/5 = 0.6
which means 2/3 is greater
