Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that DE is parallel to AC then DE divides the sides proportionally, so

\frac{BD}{DA} = \frac{BE}{EC} , substitute values

\frac{x+2}{x} = \frac{3}{2} ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(x + 2) ← distribute

3x = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 4

[Please help]~granola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from c grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from oth
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: calories from other ingredients

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

4c + 5 = 27

27 = calories contained in a granola bite

Most of the calories come from c grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other ingredients. One gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories.

So:

c = grams carbohydrates

4 = calories contained in 1 gram of carbohydrate

Since the sum of the product of the calories contained in 1 gram of carbohydrate (4) and the number of carbohydrates(c ); plus the calories from other ingredients is equal to the calories contained in a granola byte (27);

5 represents the calories from other ingredients

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
