If it bisect, then using the Line Bisector Theorem, it must be equal.

So x+6=4x-21

get like terms on 1 side

x+6=4x-21

-x. +21

27= 3x

x=9

plug the x in

CD= 9+6

CD=15

ANSWER:
x=9, CD=15

EXPLANATION:
Since line n bisects CE, and the word “bisect” means to divide into two congruent parts, we can infer that CD=DE.

We can then substitute in x+6 in place of CD, and 4x-21 in place of DE, creating the equation x+6=4x-21.

After solving for x, we can then plug in the x-value of 9 into the expression for CD, and get the final answer of 15.

Evaluate 32 + 12 = ( 6 – 3) x 8.

Brrunno [24]

Hello there!

(Equation #1) 32 + 12 = 44

(Equation #2) 6 - 3 = 3, 3 x 8 = 24

These both equations don't have the same answer, even though it says that they are equal with each other, if you could correct these these 2 equations I am willing to answer again.

Hope this helped!!
