Answer:
The correct answer is 3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
It gives you the expression for JM and LM, and it asks for JL. Therefore, if you take away LM from JM, you are left with JL. You must subtract 2x-6 from 5x-8.
∴5x-8-(2x-6)
Do not forget to distribute the negative since you are subtracting, so instead of subtracting 6 from 8, you will be adding 6 to 8 because two negatives make a positive.
AD=DC, because BD is a bisector of AC.
BD is in common.
AD and BD are perpendicular, and so are DC and BD, because BD is perpendicular to AC.
AB^2 = AD^2+BD^2 because ABD is right
BC^2 = DC^2+BD^2 because BDC is right
AB=BC because AD=DC
So, AD=DC, AB=BC and BD is common, and the triangles are congruent.
A.
B and C are wrong because x is more than or equal to 3.
D is wrong because y is the weight of oranges and cannot be negative.
