1. Gloria says the two expressions 2(3x+6) - 9x and 3x4 are equivalent, Is she correct? Explain how you know.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, Let's find out!

Gloria says,

2(3x+6)-9x=3*4

By using distributive law

6x+12-9x=12

12-3x=12

-3x=12-12

-3x=0

x=0/-3

So she is not correct

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
