How can you determine if two algebraic expressions are equivalent

In the figure below, ∠dec ≅ ∠dce, ∠b ≅ ∠f, and segment df is congruent to segment bd. point c is the point of intersection between segment ag and segment bd, while point e is the point of intersection between segment ag and segment df. the figure shows a polygon comprised of three triangles, abc, dec, and gfe. prove δabc ≅ δgfe.

The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown. 4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15 (4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3 2x = 18 what is the solution of the system of equations? (1,2) (3,9) (5,5) (9,3)

The diagram shows corresponding lengths in two similar figures. find the area of the smaller figure. a. 14.4 yd2 b. 24 yd2 c. 26.4 yd2 d. 28
