Maria did the work to see if 8 is a solution to the equation s-3=11.

s-3=11
8-3=11
5=11

does her work show that 8 a solution to the equation?

a.)yes, because the last line of the work is true.
b.)yes, because 11 minus 8 equals 3.
c.)no, because 8 is even and the other numbers in the equation are odd.
d.)no, because the last line of the work is not true. 5 and 11 are not equal.

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expressions of boths sides of the equation must have the same value Or, in other words, if we call the expresion on the left side of the equation A, and the expression on the right side of the equation B, then:

Keeping the above on mind, you can see that 5 and 11 are not equal, then:

5≠11

The correct value of s is:

Substituting:

24

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   the paragraph proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

given: in a δxwy where

such that, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx and zw≅zy

we have to prove that: segment zx is a perpendicular bisector of segment wy.

prove: since, zw≅zy ⇒ ∠wzy is a supplementary angle.

then, ∠wzy= 180°

⇒∠wzx + ∠yzx = 180° ( because xz divides ∠wzy into two parts)

but, ∠wzx ≅ ∠yzx ( given)

⇒∠wzy+∠wzy=180° ( by substitution)

⇒2∠wzy=180°

⇒∠wzy=90°

⇒∠wzy=∠yzx =90°

therefore, xz⊥wy where wz=zy

⇒zx is a perpendicular bisector of wy.
