Answer:

x = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

AD/AB = DE/BC (Similarity Theorem)

AD = 6 + 4 = 10

AB = 6

DE = 2

BC = x

Plug in the values

10/6 = 2/x

Cross multiply

10*x = 2*6

10x = 12

Divide both sides by 10

x = 12/10

x = 1.2

Answer: -3, -2.5, -1, 2, 5.

Explanation:
The number line goes from the smallest number to the largest number. As an example you may ask why -3 is smaller than -1 even though it looks larger. This is because it actually isn’t since it is negative. When a number is negative, the higher the number are the smaller it is. One more example could be that -10 is smaller than -5.
