14 = 2•7 and 35 = 5•7, so the GCF of 14k and 35 is 7.
14k + 35 = 2•7k + 5•7 = 7 (2k + 5)
(Remember that the distributive property says a (b + c) = ab + ac.)
x = 37.5 (or) 
Solution:
Given 
AC = 50, DE = 30, EC = 25, BE = x, BC = 25 + x
To find the value of x:
Property of similar triangles:
If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.


Do cross multiplication, we get


Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.

Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get
x = 37.5 (or) 
Hence the value of x is 37.5 or
.
Divide 1500 by 1000
1500/1000 = 1.5
1. is the third choice
2. is second choice
3. is fourth choice
3 sevenths plus 2 sevenths equals 5 sevenths
3/7 + 2/7 = 5/7 because you're adding 3 and 2 which gives you 5.
