When there is a midpoint in a line segment, the two segments that are then produced have to be equal. So that means that because E is a midpoint of DF, DE=EF.
Set up the equation.
DE=EF
2x+4=3x+1
Then solve for x.
x=3
Then plug it back in the equation to find DE and EF.
DE=2x+4=2(3)+4=10
Because DE=EF then EF is also 10.
DF is made from the addition of DE and EF so DF is twice EF.
DF= 20

DE= 10, EF= 10, DF= 20

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the rule GEMDAS (Grouping, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract) from left to right. Therefore, we will simplify the equation in the parentheses. $2^{3} = 8. (1-8= -7)$ . -(-7) creates a double negative, deeming the 7 positive, because when there is two negatives the number will turn into a positive. $7^{2}$ = 49, -3 x 4= -12. Therefore the final form of the equation will be 49 - 12 = 37.
