The answer for y is positive
<h3>
Answer: x = 7</h3>
Explanation:
Segment addition postulate
CD+DE = CE
this basically is the idea of gluing smaller pieces together to get a larger structure. We can go in reverse to break up a large item into smaller bits. This is assuming there is no leftovers, overlaps, or parts wasted/lost.
CD = 9
DE = 3x+6
CE = 36
----
CD+DE = CE
9+3x+6 = 36
3x+15 = 36
3x = 36-15
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
-----
If x = 7, then
DE = 3x+6 = 3*7+6 = 21+6 = 27
and
CD+DE = 9+27 = 36 = CE
confirming our answer

Answer:
110
Step-by-step explanation:

100+10=110
Answer: y = -6x + 2
m = y_2 - y_1
/ x_2 - x_1
-10 - 8
/ 2 - (-1)
= -18/3 = -6
m (slope) = -6
y = mx + b
y = -6x +b
Find b using (-1,8)
y = -6x +b
8 = -6(-1) + b
8 = 6 + b
-6 -6
2 = b
Final answer: y = -6x + 2
To check using one of the points: (-1,8) or (2,-10)
y = -6x + 2
-10 = -6(2) + 2
-10 = -12 + 2
-10 = -10
This is a true statement.
