Answer:

DE=11 UNITS

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AC=CD

And AC=2AB as B is the mid point of AC

Hence 2(3x+4)=11x-17

6x+8=11x-17

11x-6x=17+8

5x=25

x=5

Hence AC=11(5)-17= 55-17=38

AC =CD = 38

CE = 49

Hence DE = CE-CD= 49-38 = 11

consider this system of linear equations: y = –3x 5 y = mx b which values of m and b will create a system of linear equations wi

Blizzard [7]

No solution means that the lines are paralell and have differnt y intercepts

paralell means has same slope

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint

given equation is
y=-3x+5
slope=-3
yint=5

paralell so
y=-3x+b
wher b is any number except 5
example
y=-3x+4
y=-3x+√3
y=-3x-π

basically

m=-3
b=any number except 5

Which of the following shows that polynomials are closed under subtraction when polynomial x + 5 is subtracted from 3x2 + 2x − 6

Art [367]

For this case we have the following polynomials:
$P = 3x ^ 2 + 2x - 6

Q = x + 5$
By subtracting both polynomials we have:
$P - Q = (3x ^ 2 + 2x - 6) - (x + 5)
$
What we must do is subtract terms of the same degree.
We have then:
$P - Q = 3x ^ 2 + (2x - x) + (-6 - 5)

P - Q = 3x ^ 2 + x - 11$
Answer:
$3x ^ 2 + x - 11$ will be a polynomial
