Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangle ADE and triangle ABC are similar, that means their sides are proportional, thus we get the equation

$\frac{AD}{AB} =\frac{DE}{BC}$

$\frac{2}{6} = \frac{x}{12}$

$6x = 24\\x=4$

Thus the value of x is 4

LenKa [72]

Answer:

v < -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms: 3v - 5v > 12 + 10
Simplify: -2v > 22
Divide each side by -2 to cancel out the -2 next to v. It should now look like this: v < -11

I hope this helps!

What name best describes this shape?

EastWind [94]

Answer: Quadrilateral

Explanation:

Any four sided polygon is considered a quadrilateral since "quad" means "four". You can think of a quad bike, which has four wheels, to help remember this math term.

Usually in problems like this, we'll be given information about if certain sides are parallel or the same length. However, we don't this info, so we cannot narrow down this classification anymore.
