The two sides are equal and for that reason DE = CE as shown below :
AD = BC, DF = GC
E = A(F) and E = BG, therefore A(F) = BF
<h3>Description of rectangle</h3>
Now we all know that a rectangle has four edges which are A, B, C, D.
when we divide the bottom line, which is the line from point C to D into three parts we will have ( DF, FG, and GC )
From the question we know that DF = GC
E is the intersection of A(F) and BG
we can now Prove that DE = CE.
since D and C are point included in E and since this is a rectangle
AD = BC, DF = GC
E = A(F) and E = BG, therefore A(F) = BF
DE = CE
We can conclude by saying that in a rectangle two sides are equal and for that reason DE = CE

Answer: 1 9/16
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Switch the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction. (5/8 ÷ 2/5 = 5/8 x 5/2)
2. Multiply the two fractions. (5/8 x 5/2 = 25/16)
3. Simplify the answer. (25/16 = 1 9/16)
Let's start by moving all like terms to their own sides:
-18 = -3x + 6
3x = 6 + 18
3x = 24
x = 8
