4(x+7)=8x-20
4x+28=8x-20
28=4x-20
48=4x
x=12
Answer: 
<u>Simplify both sides of the equation</u>

<u>Subtract 5n from both sides</u>

<u>Subtract 15 from both sides</u>

Answer:
ΔABC ~ ΔDEC
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : DE║AB
Statements Reasons
1). DE║AB 1). Given
2). ∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB 2). Corresponding angles
[Since DE║AB and AC is the transverse]
3). ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA 3). Corresponding angles
[Since DE║AB and BC is the transverse]
4). ΔABC ~ ΔDEC 4). By AA property of similarity
Hence ΔABC is similar to ΔDEC.
A shape that is similar to another shape will be enlarged by a scale factor.
Each corresponding sides should give the same scale factor
Side GI corresponds to side JL
Side GH corresponds to side JK
Side HI corresponds to side KL
The correspond sides whose length are given is
GH = 4 and JK = 8
Side JK is twice longer than GH
All the other sides of triangle JKL are twice longer than triangle GHI, so we want that the side JL to be twice of the sides GI
Side GI = 6
Side JL = 6 × 2 = 12
Answer: y = 12
y=mx+b
first find the y intercept or b or x=0
b=5
now find the slope
y²-y¹/x²-x¹--> 5-2/0-(-2)
m=3/2
the equation is D. y=3/2x+5
