Because you're trying to make them congruent, equal the two expressions to each other.
So, for #10 you would equal them so it would look like this.
2x+2=5x-19
Then you would just go ahead and simplify
2x+2=5x-19
-2x -2x
---------------
2= 3x -19
+19 +19
---------------
21=3x
--- ----
3 3
x=7
This means that x should be 7. You can check this just by plugging it in
2x+2
2(7)+2 = 16
5x-19
5(7)-19= 16
Same with #11.
x+8=3x-14
-x -x
--------------
8=2x-14
+14 +14
--------------
22=2x
--- ----
2 2
x=11
Check.
x+8
11+8= 19
3x-14
3(11) - 14 = 19
Answer: x = 9
Step-by-step explanation: divide 2/3x by 2 and do that to both sides to get 1/3x = 3 then multiply by 3 to get the whole x. multiply on both sides to get x = 9.
So, we know that it takes Sam 1 mph up and 9 mph down and it takes Liam both 2 mph down and up the hill. So if we divide the 2 mph for Liam by 2 miles (the whole length of the hill) we will get 1 or 1 hour. Then we do 1/1 (i don't know how to explain this part of why we do that, sorry) and than we do 1 / 9 and we get 1/9 so we add them and get 1 1/9 so that's Sam's time.
So, Liam took one hour and Sam took 1 and 1/9 hours, in conclusion liam was faster

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, thus
DE = BE , substitute values
4y - 8 = y + 10 ( subtract y from both sides )
3y - 8 = 10 ( add 8 to both sides )
3y = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 6
Thus
BD = y + 10 + 4y - 8 = 5y + 2 = 5(6) + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 → D
