Given: Segment AC is perpendicular to segment BD Prove: ΔACB ~ ΔECD Reflect ΔECD over segment AC. This establishes that ∠ACB ≅ ∠E'C'D'. Then, . This establishes that . Therefore, ΔACB ~ ΔECD by the AA similarity postulate. translate point E' to point A; ∠E'D'C' ≅ ∠ABC
translate point D' to point A; ∠E'D'C' ≅ ∠BAC
translate point D' to point A; ∠D'E'C' ≅ ∠BAC
translate point E' to point A; ∠D'E'C' ≅ ∠BAC

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
