@Directrix 
Do you mind helping me?

directrix · Answer

Where is the diagram?

nicholausblackmon · Answer

That is all that is given

directrix · Answer

There has to be a picture. I don't know where the angles and other parts are located in relation to each other. So, look again for a diagram, and I think I can help you.

nicholausblackmon · Answer

That is literally all that is given :(

nicholausblackmon · Answer

hello?

directrix · Answer

Did you look for a diagram?

asnaseer · Answer

@NicholausBlackmon - you should at least be able to tell me what the reasons are for b and c - what do you think?

nicholausblackmon · Answer

There was nothing to be found but this. There usually isn't a diagram for a proof :(

nicholausblackmon · Answer

Is it muliplication property of equality for b and c?

nicholausblackmon · Answer

or is c given?

asnaseer · Answer

what is the reason for being able to go from the statement in "a" to the statement in "b"?

nicholausblackmon · Answer

adding the like terms, which is 7x and 5x

asnaseer · Answer

perfect! :)

asnaseer · Answer

now think of the reason to go from the statement in "b" to that in "c"

nicholausblackmon · Answer

So it's additive property of equality for a?

asnaseer · Answer

lets come back to "a" at the end

nicholausblackmon · Answer

i think a might be given

nicholausblackmon · Answer

okay

asnaseer · Answer

now think of the reason to go from the statement in "b" to that in "c"

nicholausblackmon · Answer

Dividing the 12 from both sides!

asnaseer · Answer

you got it - well done! :)

asnaseer · Answer

now look carefully at "a" and the statement before it - wat reason do you think justifies this?

nicholausblackmon · Answer

is it substitution?

asnaseer · Answer

yes - you could say that - you could also that that m RST and m UVW are given in the question

nicholausblackmon · Answer

i was right!

asnaseer · Answer

but you are right - you are substituting in the given values

nicholausblackmon · Answer

So the answer is
A. Given
B. additive property of equality
C. Division property of equality?

asnaseer · Answer

yes - that looks correct
