Answer 8

Option choice is:
A.
2

B.
3

C.
4

D.
6

Answer 9

emm no

it they have this

EXAMPLE
THIS IS NOT YOUR TRIANGLE PROBLEM!!!


NOT TO SCALE

Answer 10

THIS MEANS THAT
AB CONGRENT TO DC
DA CONGRUENT CB

Answer 11

Okay!

Answer 12

Your point?

Answer 13

you cannot automatically assume they are congruent unless u see those lines

Answer 14

So it is an equiteral triangle how do I find the length of AB?

Answer 15

5x - 4 = 3x?

Answer 16

yep

Answer 17

you have the length measures already
now compute

Answer 18

Now how exactly do you do that?

Answer 19

you made an
equation?

Answer 20

im sure you know how to solve right?

Answer 21

not really

Answer 22

what math are you in?

Answer 23

I tried solving and got no where close to the options

Answer 24

are you learning algebra?

Answer 25

Yeah just learning

Answer 26

Would it possibly be 4

Answer 27

You still there?

Answer 28

ok

basically
its just like this

EXAMPLE
THIS IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM!!!!

10X + 5 + (-10X) = 20X + (-10X) TO SIMPLIFY ADD THE "ADDITIVE INVERSE" (-10X)

5 = 10X DIVIDE

5
--- = X
10

1
--- = X SIMPLIFY
