E is the midpoint of DF, DE = 3x + 4 and EF = 5x - 2. Find DE, EF, and DF.

Since E is the midpoint of DF, DE and EF are two halves of DF. First, let's write down what we know.

DE = 3x + 4

EF = 5x - 2

DE = EF

DE + EF = DF

Now, let's plug our values for DE and EF into our first expression.

3x + 4 = 5x -2

Add 2 to both sides and subtract 3x from both sides.

6 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

3 = x

Let's plug 3 in for x into DE.

DE = 3x + 4 = 3(3) + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13

DE = EF = 13

We can plug 13 in for DE and EF to get DF

DF = DE + EF = 13 + 13 = 26

(b - 3x) + (-5b + 6x - 5) 
= b - 3x - 5b + 6x - 5
= b - 5b - 3x + 6x - 5
= -4b + 3x - 5

Sydney bought 5.65 lbs of roast beef, which was on sale for $4.50 per pound. if she divides the roast beef evenly among 6.5, how
Sever21 [200]
Okay. So, she buoyant 5.65 lbs of roast beef for $4.50. Multiply both of those numbers to get 25.425 or 25.43 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. So the total cost was $25.43. However, we now have to divide the amount by 6.5. 25.43/6.5 is 3.912 and other odd numbers or 3.91 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The cost per sandwich was $3.91.

write in point slope form the equation of a line through (-3, 8) and (7, 6). A. y-6=1/5(x-7), B. y-8=-1/5(x+3), C. y-8=1/5(x=3)
Anna [14]
First you have to find the slope, the slope formula is m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1       (-3, 8)  (7, 6)
m = 6 - 8/ 7 - (-3)
m = -2/10
m = -1/5

point-slope formula;
y - y1 = m(x - x1)            m = -1/5   (-3, 8)
y - 8 = -1/5(x - (-3)
y - 8 = -1/5(x + 3)

so the answer is, B.

hope this helps, God bless!
