–24 + 12d = 2(d – 3) + 22

d = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

–24 + 12d = 2(d – 3) + 22

–24 + 12d = 2d - 6 + 22

–24 + 12d = 2d + 16

–24 + 12d - 2d = 16

12d - 2d = 16 + 24

10d = 16 + 24

10d = 40

d = 4

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.

the answer is: -22 also a
