Is there anything else? Like what is the question asking?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are perpendicular, they create 4 90° angles. Meaning, in this case, that m<DBC = 90 and m<DBA = 90.
We're given that m<DBE = 2x - 1 and that m<CBE = 5x - 42.
The sum of angles DBE and CBE = m<DBC = 90°
We can add the two angles and set it equal to 90 to find x

Answer:
a =1 and b =2
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard quadratic is written in the form
ax^2 +bx+c =0
x^2 +2x -13 =0
a =1 and b =2
Answer:
x = 15/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Create an equation, let the number be x:
2/3 * x = 5/4
Now we multiply both sides by 3/2
3/2 * 2/3 x = 5/4 * 3/2
x = 15/8.
