Answer:
DF = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the 3 sides are congruent, then
EF = DE , that is
4.5m - 42 = 1.5m - 9 ( subtract 1.5m from both sides )
3m - 42 = - 9 ( add 42 to both sides )
3m = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )
m = 11
Thus
DE = 1.5m - 9 = 1.5(11) - 9 = 16.5 - 9 = 7.5
Then
Q+D = 65, multiply both sides by 2525Q + 25D = 162525Q + 10D = 950 subtract to get 15D = 675 D = 675/15 = 135/3 = 45 dimes Q = 65-45 = 20 quarters25(20) + 10(45) = 500+450 = 950
