Answer from: asesu

Option B:

$\overline{A B}=\overline{D E}$

Solution:

In the given figure $\triangle A B C \cong \triangle D E C$ .

If two triangles are similar, then their corresponding sides and angles are equal.

By CPCTC, in $\triangle A B C \ \text{and}\ \triangle D E C$ ,

$\overline{AB }=\overline{DE}$ – – – – (1)

$\overline{B C}=\overline{EC}$ – – – – (2)

$\overline{ CA}=\overline{CD}$ – – – – (3)

$\angle ACB=\angle DCE$ – – – – (4)

$\angle ABC=\angle DEC$ – – – – (5)

$\angle BAC=\angle EDC$ – – – – (6)

Option A: $\overline{B C}=\overline{D C}$

By CPCTC proved in equation (2) $\overline{B C}=\overline{EC}$ .

Therefore $\overline{B C}\neq \overline{D C}$ . Option A is false.

Option B: $\overline{A B}=\overline{D E}$

By CPCTC proved in equation (1) $\overline{AB }=\overline{DE}$ .

Therefore Option B is true.

Option C: $\angle A C B=\angle D E C$

By CPCTC proved in equation (4) $\angle ACB=\angle DCE$ .

Therefore $\angle A C B\neq \angle D E C$ . Option C is false.

Option D: $\angle A B C=\angle E D C$

By CPCTC proved in equation (5) $\angle ABC=\angle DEC$ .

Therefore $\angle A B C\neq \angle E D C$ . Option D is false.

Hence Option B is the correct answer.

$\Rightarrow\overline{A B}=\overline{D E}$

Answer from: Quest

y + 11 = (1/4)(x + 16)

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

starting with:

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.

trying x = -0.5

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.

trying x = 0

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.

trying x = 1

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
