Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

13x = 3(x - 20) {Use distributive method:a(b+c)=(a*b) + (a*c)

13x = 3*x - 3*20

13x = 3x - 60 {Subtract '3x' from both sides}

13x -3x = -60

10x = -60 {Divide both sides by 10}

x= -60/10

x = -6

What are the missing statement and reason in step 2 of the proof? Statement: ∠ABC ≅ ∠BCD, ∠BAD ≅ ∠ADC Reason: For parallel lines

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Statement: AB=CD, BC=AD

Reason: By definition of parallelogram .

Statement: AC=AC

Reason: Reflexive property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Statement: $\angle ABC\cong \angle BCD,\angle BAD\cong \angle ADC$ .

Reason: For parallel lines cut by a transversal , corresponding angles are congruent.

2.Statement:AB=CD,BC=AD

Reason: By definition of parallelogram.

3.Statement: AC=AC

Reason: Reflexive property of equality.

4.Statement: $\triangle ABC\cong \triangle CDA$ .

Reason: SSS criterion for congruence.

5.Statement: $AB\cong CD, BC\cong AD$ .

Reason: Given .

6.Statement: $AB\parallel CD, BC\parallel AD$ .

Reason: By definition of parallelogram.

7.Statement: $\angle BAC\cong \angle ACD$ .

Reason: Alternate Interior Angles Theorem.

Sarah is rolling a number cube, numbered 1-6, and recording the number that shows up on each roll.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition: Two events, A and B, are independent if the fact that A occurs does not affect the probability of B occurring.

Event A = getting a 4 on the first roll.

Event B = getting a 4 on the second roll.

True option C: A and B are independent events, because the probability of the first roll will not affect the probability of the second roll.
