Answer:

EF = 7 units

AD = 3 units

BC = 11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an isosceles trapezoid and the midsegment is x, the sum of the bases divided by 1/2 is the value of the midsegment, x.

x = 1/2(x-4 + 2x-3)

x = 1/2x - 2 + x - 1 1/2

x = 1 1/2 x - 3.5

-1/2 x = -3.5

x = 7 units

EF = 7 units

AD = 7-4 = 3 units

BC = 2(7) - 3 = 11 units

Use the substitution method to solve each system of equations. Write the answer in ordered pairs.

x -y = 1

5x + 3y = 45

Solve the first equation for x: x = y + 1

Substitute x in the second with y + 1

5x + 3y = 45

5(y + 1) + 3y = 45

5y + 5 + 3y = 45

8y + 5 = 45

8y = 40

y = 5

Substitute 5 for y in x = y + 1

x = y + 1

x = 5 + 1

x = 6

Answer: (6, 5)

9 – 2x = 19<br> What is x

iren2701 [21]

9-2x=19

or,-2x=19-9

or,-2x=10

or,x=10/-2

therefore,

Which number line represents the solution set for the inequality –4(x 3) ≤ –2 – 2x?

Anna71 [15]

The solution to the inequality expression is x ≥ - 5

<h3>Inequality expressions</h3>

Inequality are expressions not separated by an equal sign. Given the inequality;

–4(x + 3) ≤ –2 – 2x

Expand

-4x - 12 ≤ -2 - 2x

Collect the like terms

-4x + 2x ≤ -2 + 12

-2x ≤ 10

Divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 ≤ 10/-2
x ≥ - 5

Hence the solution to the inequality expression is x ≥ - 5
