Answer:

x = 8
12 = BD
23 = BE
13 = CE

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = 2x - 4
DE = 2x - 3 - 2
BE = 3x - 1
CE = 2x - 3

<u>Solution:</u>

(2x - 4) + (2x - 3 - 2) = 3x - 1
=> 2x - 4 + 2x - 3 - 2 = 3x - 1
=> 4x - 9 = 3x - 1
=> 4x - 3x = 9 - 1
=> x = 8
=> 2x - 4 = BD
=> 2(8) - 4 = BD
=> 16 - 4 = BD
=> 12 = BD
=> 3x - 1 = BE
=> 3(8) - 1 = BE
=> 24 - 1 = BE
=> 23 = BE
=> 2x - 3 = CE
=> 2(8) - 3 = CE
=> 16 - 3 = CE
=> 13 = CE

Hence, the answers are:

x = 8
12 = BD
23 = BE
13 = CE

I need help understanding this. SO please help and give explanation

NikAS [45]

So my understanding from this you have to make it y = mx + b so m stands for the slope there’s different ways to find it as shown in the first picture. I’ll try to make another comment since this only lets me take one picture at a time.

I don't know how to do this

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

x = -11/5 and y = 24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use elimination.

First, we need to multiply so that at least one variable can cancel out.

We can multiply the top equation by 2.

So we get

4x + 6y = 20

Then, we can use elimination.

The x's cancel out.

So we get 5y = 24

Or y = 24/5

Then, we can plug in this y value back into the first equation to find x.

2x + 3(24/5) = 10

2x + 72/5 = 50/5

2x = -22/5

x = -11/5

So x = -11/5 and y = 24/5
