DE + EF = 4x+2

DE = x+7

EF = 7

Substitute these in

x + 7 + 7 = 4x + 2

x + 14 = 4x + 2

subtract x from both sides

14 = 3x + 2

subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 12

divide both sides by 3

x = 4

substitute this in to find the length of DE

DE = x + 7

(4) + 7 = 11

the answer is 11

From figure we can see that:

DE=DF -EF

x+7 = 4x+2-7

combining like terms

x+7=4x-5

subtract x on the right side from 4x

7=(4x-x) -5

7=3x-5

add 5 on the left side

7+5=3x

12=3x

divide both sides by 3

x=4

DE=x+7 =4+7

DE=11

One third plus one third

ehidna [41]

Two thirds.
1/3 +1/3 = 2/3.
You don’t add the denominator (bottom terms), you only add the numerators (the top terms)

I don't understand this problem... 1/4 x (-12)=

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying a positive number with a negative number, the product will always be negative. First, let's solve the problem disregarding the negative sign.

$\frac{1}{4} * 12$
$\frac{12}{4}$
$3$

Now that we know the product of 1/4 x 12 is 3, we can assume that the product of 1/4 x -12 is -3.

Graph 3x + y = -2 .................................................

Answer:

see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator does this very nicely.

The intercepts can be found by setting the other variable to zero and dividing by the coefficient of the variable of interest. This tells you the x-intercept is -2/3, and the y-intercept is -2/1 = -2. The y-intercept is conveniently on a grid point. To find other grid points on the line, it is convenient to choose integer values for x, then solve for y.

y = -3x -2

Positive values for y will require negative values of x.
