- Multiply (-2x-4) by -5:

[(-5)(-2x) + (-5)(-4)] +5x - 4 = -29

= 10x+20+5x-4=-29

- Combine Like Terms:

(10x+5x) + (20-4) = -29

15x+16=-29

- Subtract 16 from each side

15x+16 -16 = -29 -16

15x = -45

x = -3

Given AG bisects CD, IJ bisects CE, and BH bisects ED. Prove KE = FD.

OverLord2011 [107]

When a line is bisected, the line is divided into equal halves.

See below for the proof of $\mathbf{KE \cong FD}$

The given parameters are:

AC bisects CD
IJ bisects CE
BH bisects ED

By definition of segment bisection, we have:

$\mathbf{CK \cong KE}$
$\mathbf{EF \cong FD}$
$\mathbf{CE \cong ED}$

By definition of congruent segments, the above congruence equations become:

$\mathbf{CK = KE}$
$\mathbf{EF = FD}$
$\mathbf{CE = ED}$

By segment addition postulate, we have:

$\mathbf{CE = CK + KE}$
$\mathbf{ED = EF + FD}$

Substitute $\mathbf{ED = EF + FD}$ in $\mathbf{CE = ED}$

$\mathbf{CK + KE = EF + FD}$

Substitute $\mathbf{CK = KE}$ and $\mathbf{EF = FD}$

$\mathbf{KE + KE = FD + FD}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{2KE = 2FD}$

Apply division property of equality

$\mathbf{KE = FD}$

By definition of congruent segments

$\mathbf{KE \cong FD}$

How do I find the value of X ???

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

To solve for the value of x, you can simply add all of the values and expressions together and make it equal to 180 degrees, since the sum of all angles in a triangle add up to this amount.

Then we can solve for X, by algebra.
