What is the first step Anika made from the original equation.​

She factored out a 4 from the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

So our original equation is 12x + 4 = 20x - 12

Anika's first steep of her equation is 3x + 1 = 5x - 3

We know that the terms were not moved around, so the first step was likely multiplication or division.

We also see that a 4 has been factored out of the entire equation, like this:

12x + 4 = 20x - 12

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

And these 4's cancel each other out.

So, I conclude that Anika's first step was dividing the entire equation by 4 or factoring out a 4 from the equation.

statement #3: proof- ang is congruent to ang ecd : angles are congruent.  

step-by-step explanation:

1: the missing angles in statement #3  

a.) acb  

reason- the reason why the answer is acb is because angle ecd and angle acb are both the same size *that's what the word congruent means this is really simple.  

2: the missing word in reason #3  

c.) vertical  

reason- the reason why the answer is vertical is because the angles in that diagram on figure 2 is slanted, which is vertical, and the e and a both lay on vertical lines. along with the other's, but e and a are the 2 main points you want to focus on. and c is kind of like your starting point, because c is for both angles, not just one.  

i hope that was and understanding.
