Add EF and DE together to equal 32
2x-10 + 4x = 32
Combine like terms;
6x-10 = 32
Add 10 to each side:
6x = 42
Divide both sides by 6:
x = 42/6
X = 7
EF = 2x-10 = 2(7)-10 = 14-10 = 4
DE = 4x = 4(7) = 28
2800-2100=700
2800/700=4
4% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
area = ( base 1 + base 2 ) ÷ 2 x height
50 = ( 10 + 15) ÷2 x height
50 ÷ 12.5 = height
height = 4
X equals 16
12+16=28
28 divided by 2 = 14
