Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the trapezoid is isosceles, the two diagonals are congruent. This can be shown by ASA.
ACD = BDC Properties of parallel lines.
DC = DC A line is equal to itself
DBA = CAB Property of parallel lines.
AC = DB Parts of Congruent triangles are congruent
3x + 15 = 7x - 9 Add 9 to both sides
3x + 15 + 9 = 7x
3x + 24 = 7x Subtract 3x from both sides.
24 = 7x - 3x
24 = 4x Divide by 4
24/4 = 4x/4
x = 6
Hello there.
Question: <span>Mr. Nicolas is putting up strings of blue and white lights for the holidays. The ratio of blue to white lights is 5 to 6. If he has 77 strings, how many strings are white lights?
Answer: 5:6
Add the numbers:
5 + 6 = 11
Divide this number by the total:
77/11 = 7
Multiply values by this number:
5 x 7 = 35
6 x 7 = 42
To check:
35 + 42 = 77.
Therefore your answer is 42.
</span>Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^
I would say for every 1 brownie, there are 5 cookies.
The cheap answer is, well, all we do is, grab the denominator of one and multiply the other by it, top and bottom, and grab the denominator of the other, and multiply the first one by that one too, that way, both will have the same denominator, and then you can simply check the numerator to see who's larger, let's do so.

surely you can tell.
