2w + 7 = 2(w + 5) - 8

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

2w + 7 = 2(w + 5) - 8

Distribute

2w+7 = 2w+10-8

Combine like terms

2w+7 = 2w+2

Subtract 2w from each side

7 = 2

This is never true so there is no solution

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First we use the distributive property to undo the parentheses.

2w+7=2w+10-8

We combine like terms.

2w+7=2w+2

We subtract 2w from both sides.

7=2

Since we lost our variables and this equation is not true, there are no solutions to this equation as there is no possible value for w that can make this true.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

Option d is correct.

Vertical angles are congruent;

SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: JK \cong KL , NK \cong KM

In ΔNKJ and  ΔMLK

JK \cong KL and      [Side]                 {Given}

NK \cong KM      

Vertical angles states that the two lines intersect to make an X, angles on opposite sides of the X are called vertical angles.

i.e \angle NKJ and \angle MKL are vertical angles.

Also, vertical angles are congruent.

\angle NKJ \cong \angle MKL  [Angle]      [Vertical angles are congruent]

SAS(Side-Angle-Side) postulate states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

then, by SAS postulates;

\triangle NKJ \cong \triangle MLK          Hence proved!

Therefore:

Statement                                                                      Reason

1.  JK \cong KL, NK \cong KM           Given

2.  \angle NKJ \cong \angle MKL                 Vertical angles are congruent

3. \triangle NKJ \cong \triangle MLK             SAS

No -- other factors will influence whether your happy or not. Saying that is true is inductive reasoning, which is prone to error

D is between C and E, CD = x 2 , CE = 32-2x, and DE = 12x. Find CD, DE, and CE.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

  • CD = 4
  • DE = 24
  • CE = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment addition theorem tells you ...

  CD +DE = CE

  x^2 +12x = 32 -2x

Subtract the right side to put this in standard form.

  x^2 +14x -32 = 0

  (x +16)(x -2) = 0

  x = -16 or 2

In order for DE to have a positive length, we must have x > 0. So ...

  CD = x^2 = 2^2 = 4

  DE = 12x = 12(2) = 24

  CE = 32 -2x = 32 -2(2) = 28
