Answer:

The value of segment DF is 41 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know that F is the midpoint of DE, we can conclude that DF and FE have the same value.  This lets us set up the following equation:

DF = FE, which when we substitute in our given values is:

3x + 5 = 5x - 19

The next step is to solve this equation.  We should start by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation.

5 = 2x - 19

Then, we can add 19 to both sides of the equation.

24 = 2x

Finally, we can divide both sides by 2.

x = 12

Now that we have a value for x, we need to find the length of DF.  To do this, we can just plug in our value for x into the given expression for DF and simplify.

DF = 3x + 5 = 3(12) + 5 = 36 + 5 = 41

Therefore, the correct answer is 41.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

when there is midpoint it bisects the segment(cuts it in equal halfs)

3x+5 = 5x-19

3x + 24 = 5x

24 = 2x

12 = x

3(12) + 5 =

36 + 5

41

Answer:

  y = 1/4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line rises one unit from -2 to -1 as x changes from 0 to 4. The slope is ...

  m = rise/run = 1/4

The y-intercept (b) is where the line crosses the y-axis, at y = -2.

The equation in slope-intercept form is ...

  y = mx + b

  y = 1/4x -2

Please help me !!! i will mark brain-list for the correct answer !!!

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So remember that a quarter of a circle is 90 degrees, a half of a circle is 180 degrees, and a whole circle is 360 degrees.

Looking at the image shown, it must be half a circle, whihc is 180 degrees. The image tells us that the 1st angle is 7 degrees. Now, we must find the 2nd angle.

Heres what we know however:

angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 degrees.

How do we know this?

Well, there are only 2 angles in this 180 degrees. We know that the first one is 7 degrees.

Lets input that into our nice lil equation to get an answer:

7 degrees+angle 2 = 180 degrees

Now lets solve.

Subtract 7 on both sides, and your left with:

angle 2 = 173 degrees.

So the answer must be:

<u>173 degrees</u>

Hope this helps! ;)

Answer:

4x^2+17x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x-3)(x+5)

= 4x(x+5) -3(x+5)

= 4x^2+ 20x -3x + 15

= 4x^2 + 17x + 15
