draw out a pic please

Answer 2

number 18

Answer 3

# 18 ??

Answer 4

oh nvm...lol

Answer 5

yah lol

Answer 6

the tick marks mean that each side is congruent to each other

Answer 7

so z+5 = 4z - 4

Answer 8

solve for z, then use this to find the length of each side

Answer 9

so x + 5 = 4z - 4 if you do 4z - 4 u get z. then z +5 = 5z so 5z = z?

Answer 10

not sure where you got x

Answer 11

i me z*

Answer 12

mean*

Answer 13

but yes, z + 5 = 4z - 4

isolate z to get

z + 5 = 4z - 4

5+4 = 4z-z

Keep going...

Answer 14

so 9 = 4z?

Answer 15

no

Answer 16

4z - z isn't 4z

Answer 17

what would it be? im enw to this.

Answer 18

think of z as 1z

Answer 19

so 4z - z is the same as 4z-1z

Answer 20

so wait if youu do 4z - z witch is like 4z - 1z and u subtract that you would get 3z?

Answer 21

good

Answer 22

so 9 = 3z or 3z = 9

Answer 23

thats the answer? haha

Answer 24

no

Answer 25

we want z = ...

not 3z = ...

Answer 26

how would you get the from 3z?

Answer 27

3z means 3 times z

Answer 28

undo the multiplication of 3 to get ???

Answer 29

soo sorry if i sound stupid but 3 x z?

Answer 30

well you divide both sides by 3

Answer 31

so 3 divided by 3 = 1 and 3 divided by z = 3z?

Answer 32

3z = 9

z = 9/3

z = 3

Answer 33

oh!!!!!!!! i get it!!!! so z = 3?

Answer 34

yes, now use this to find the length of each side

Answer 35

so eahc side length would be 8 if im correct?

Answer 36

you are
