<span>One number is one less than five times another ....
</span>Let one number be x<span>
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ... 
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
</span>5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9<span>
One number is 2 and the other is 9.</span>

Identify the correct corresponding parts
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The correct corresponding part is;

\overline {CB} ≅ \overline {CD}

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given symbolically in the diagram are;

ΔCAB is congruent to ΔCED (ΔCAB ≅ ΔCED)

Segment \overline {CA} is congruent to \overline {CE} ( \overline {CA} ≅ \overline {CE})

Segment \overline {CB} is congruent to \overline {CD} ( \overline {CB} ≅ \overline {CD})

From which, we have;

∠A ≅ ∠E by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)

∠B ≅ ∠D by CPCTC

Segment \overline {AB} is congruent to \overline {DE} (\overline {AB} ≅ \overline {DE}) by CPCTC

Segment \overline {AE} bisects \overline {BD}

Segment \overline {BD} bisects \overline {AE}

Therefore, the correct option is \overline {CB} ≅ \overline {CD}
