Walter's steps and reasoning for solving an equation are shown below: Given: three halves times x plus ten equals forty Steps Reasons 1. three halves times x plus ten equals forty 1. Given 2. three halves times x plus ten minus ten equals forty minus ten 2. Addition Property of Equality 3. three halves times x equals thirty 3. Simplify 4. three halves times x times two thirds equals thirty times two thirds 4. Multiplication Property of Equality 5. x = 20 5. Simplify which one it is please Which reason?

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

8         8

- 4= x

look at the picture.

1.

ef : ab = 2 : 3

gf : cb = 2 : 3

gh : cd = 2 : 3

he : da = 2 : 3

2.

∠a ≅ ∠e

∠b ≅ ∠f

∠c ≅ ∠g

∠d ≅ ∠h

3.

use pythagorean theorem:

the length of the abcd trapezoid sides:

|ab| = 3 cm

|bc| = 10 cm

|cd| = 3(3) cm = 9 cm

|da| = 8 cm

the perimeter of abcd = 3 + 10 + 9 + 8 = 30 cm

the ratio of perimeters of the tarapezoids is equal 2 : 3.

substitute:

      cross multiply

      divide both sides by 3
