Given:
AB || DE
C is the midpoint of BD
Prove:
C is the midpoint of AE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB║DE and C is the midpoint of BD.

To prove: C is the midpoint of A

                   Statements                       Reasons

1). AB║DE                                   1). Given

2). BC ≅ CD                               2). Point C is the midpoint of BD

3). m∠B ≅ m∠D                         3). Interior alternate angles

4). m∠ACB ≅ m∠DCE               4). Vertical angles

5). ΔABC ≅ ΔDEC                     5). ASA property of congruence

6). AC ≅ EC                               6). ΔABC ≅ ΔDEC

7). AC =                            7). AC ≅ EC

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land and water. about 25% of pakistan's agriculture accounts for about 21% [1] of gdp and employs about 43% of the labour force. in pakistan, the most agricultural province is punjab where wheat and cotton are the most grown.
