Answer:  x = 2

=============================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

I've added points D,E,F,G. This helps with labeling the segments and angles, and identifying the proper triangles (to see which are congruent pairs).

Triangle GEA is congruent to triangle GFA. We can prove this using the AAS congruence theorem. We have AG = AG as the pair of congruent sides, and the congruent pairs of angles are marked in the diagram (specifically the blue pairs of angles and the gray right angle markers)

Since triangle GEA is congruent to triangle GFA, this means the corresponding pieces segment GF and GE are the same length.

The diagram shows GF = 3x-4, so this means GE = 3x-4 as well.

----------------------

Through similar steps, we can show that triangle GEC is congruent to triangle GDC. We also use AAS here as well.

The congruent triangles lead to GD = GE. So GD = 3x-4. The diagram shows that GD = 6x-10

Since GD is equal to both 3x-4 and 6x-10, this must mean the two expressions are equal.

----------------------

Now let's solve for x

6x-10 = 3x-4

6x-3x = -4+10

3x = 6

x = 6/3

x = 2

Select the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion. If x = 4, then 5x = 20 the addition property of equality the m
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Addition Property of Equality:</u> When you add something to one side of the equation, you must add the same thing to the other side.

<u>The Subtraction Property of Equality:</u> When you subtract something from one side of the equation, you must subtract the same thing from the other side.

<u>The Multiplication Property of Equality:</u> When you multiply something to one side of the equation, you must multiply the same thing to the other side.

<u>The Division Property of Equality:</u> When you divide something from one side of the equation, you must divide the same thing from the other side.

In this case, you have to divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x = 4. That means that the division property of equality was used.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Luba_88 [7]
Simplify y=8x+2x+2: y=10x+2
Same as equation y=10x+2
Therefore it has infinitely many solutions
