Answer
Find out the value of x.
To prove
Definition of mid- segment
It is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.
It is always parallel to the third side, and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.
As shown in the triangle given below.
As given
DE = 5x and BC = 11x – 15
Thus




15 = 11x - 10x
15 = x
Therefore the value of x is 15 .
Dividing two decimals means that we need to make the following math operation:

According to the following definition:

We can prove that our result is correct by multiplying the divisor by the quotient plus the reminder and verifying that this result matches the dividend. Also, we can use a calculator to prove that.
