It would be 7.

If BE is 7, you know that is the same distance from E to D. And if AC is 14, I'm guessing it is the same distance from B to D. So now BD is 14. That means that you now divide it by 2 to get ED. So, that is why the answer is 7. Sorry if what I wrote is a little confusing.

I hope this helps:)

DE equals 7.

Because it is the same length of BE.

Jessica had a bag of candies. She gave 1/8 of her candies to judy. Then jessica gave 3/7 of the candies she had left to Reggie.

Answer:

Jessica had 32 candies at the beginning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candies Jessica had at the beginning be $x$ .

Candies gives to Judy = $\frac{1}{8}x$ .

Now, candies left with Jessica is $x-\frac{1}{8}x=\frac{7x}{8}$ .

Candies given to Reggie is $\frac{3}{7}$ of $\frac{7x}{8}$ .

∴ Candies with Reggie is $\frac{3}{7}\times\frac{7x}{8}=\frac{3x}{8}$ .

Candies left with Jessica after giving to Reggie = $\frac{7x}{8}-\frac{3x}{8}=\frac{4x}{8}$ .

Now, Jessica lost 75% of what she had left. So, 75% of $\frac{4x}{8}$ .

∴ Candies lost = $\frac{75}{100}\times\frac{4x}{8}= \frac{3x}{8}$

Now, candies left with Jessica = $\frac{4x}{8}-\frac{3x}{8}=\frac{x}{8}$ .

As per question,

Candies left with Jessica at last is 4. So,

$\frac{x}{8}=4$

$x=32$

Hence, Jessica had 32 candies at the beginning.

Which of the following is not a congruence transformation?

Law Incorporation [45]

Dilating, A, is the answer. This is because the definition of congruency includes the triangle or shape being completely equal in shape, size and angles. If the shape was dilated, the surface area would shrink which does not come under the definition of a congruent shape.

Given this, if you rotate or translate (flip) a shape, its dimensions do not change.
