PLEASE HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. THANK YOU :)

ABC and DEC are similar, since the line segments AB and DE are parallel.

This means corresponding sides of these triangles occur in a fixed ratio with one another.

In particular, this tells us

DE/AB = DC/AC

or

7/11 = 15/(15 + x)

Solve for x:

11/7 = (15 + x)/15

11/7 = 1 + x/15

4/7 = x/15

x = 60/7

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.

answer: -10

step-by-step explanation:

s(t) = 1 - 10t

s(x) = 1 - 10x

s(x + h) = 1 - 10(x + h)

            = 1 - 10x - 10h

s(x + h) - s(x) = 1 - 10x - 10h - (1 - 10x)

                      = 1 - 10x - 10h - 1 + 10x

                      = -10h

= -10
