From the markings on the diagram, we can tell E is the midpoint of BC and <u>D</u> is the midpoint of AC. We can apply the <u>triangle midsegment theorem</u>: ED = ½BA. Substituting in the expressions for the lengths and solving for x, we get x = <u>5</u>. Now, since BE = x, then BC = <u>10</u>.
<h3>What is
triangle midpoint theorem?</h3>
Triangle midpoint theorem states that the line segment which joins the midpoints of two (2) sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side, and it's congruent to one-half of the third side.
By applying the triangle midpoint theorem, we can find the value of x:
ED = ½BA
x + 2 = ½(4x - 6)
2x + 4 = 4x - 6
4x - 2x = 6 + 4
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5.
BC = x + x
BC = 5 + 5
BC = 10.

Miguel: 500 out of 750 students have part time jobs.
500 ÷ 250 = 2
750 ÷ 250 = 3
500:750 = 2:3
A) 200 out of 300 ⇒ 200/100 and 300/100 ⇒ 2:3
B) 700 out of 1100 ⇒ 700/100 and 1100/100 ⇒ 7:11
C) 800 out of 1200 ⇒ 800/400 and 1200/400 ⇒ 2:3
D) 9000 out of 1300 ⇒ 9000/100 and 1300/100 ⇒ 90:13
Among the choices, Choice B could represent Kureshi's Data because it is not proportional to the data of Miguel.
Choice D is not possible. You cannot have a result that is way beyond the scope of your population. It is impossible to get 9000 students out of only 1300 students.
See the blue dot in the attached image.
First, find the x value on the coordinate plane. The x value is the first number in the point coordinates, so in this case, it is 4. Move to the right 4. (If it was negative, you would move to the left.)
Then, find the y value, which is the second number of the coordinates. In this case, it is -1, so move down 1. (If it was positive, you’d move up.)
Now, mark this point. This is (4, -1).
Rearrange x/4-(-5)=0
Simplify x/4
-5 = -5/1 = -5*4/4
x- (-5*4)/4 = x+20/4
x+ 20/4 = 0
x+20/4 * 4 = 0*4
The equation now takes the shape: x+20=0
subtract 20 from both sides of the equation: x=-20
Answer: x=-20
