Complete question is attached.

Answer:

a) ED = 6.5 cm

b) BE = 14.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangle, we are given the following dimensions:

AB = 20 cm

BC = 5 cm

CD = 18 cm

AE = 26 cm

We are asked to find length of sides ED and BE.

a) Find length of ED.

From the triangle Let's use the equation:

\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{AE}{ED}

Cross multiplying, we have:

AB * ED = AE * BC

From this equation, let's make ED subject of the formula.

ED = \frac{AE * BC}{AB}

Let's substitute figures,

ED = \frac{26 * 5}{20}

ED = \frac{130}{20} = 6.5

Therefore, length of ED is 6.5 cm.

b) To find length of BE, let's use the equation:

\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{BE}{CD}

Cross multiplying, we have:

AB * CD = AC * BE

Let's make BE subject of the formula,

BE = \frac{AB * CD}{AC}

From the triangle, length AC = AB + BC.

AC = 20 + 5 = 25

Substituting figures, we have:

BE = \frac{20 * 18}{25}

BE = \frac{360}{25} = 14.4

Therefore, length Of BE is 14.4cm

Solve for x -3x+6=2x-24<br><br>-30<br><br>-6 <br><br>6<br><br>30
Svetach [21]

-3x + 6 = 2x - 24.

Add 3x to both sides.

6 = 5x - 24.

Add 24 to both sides.

30 = 5x.

Divide it all by 5.

<em><u>x = 6.</u></em>
