We are given AB ∥ DE. Because the lines are parallel and segment CB crosses both lines, we can consider segment CB a transversal of the parallel lines. Angles CED and CBA are corresponding angles of transversal CB and are therefore congruent, so ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA. We can state ∠C ≅ ∠C using the reflexive property. Therefore, △ACB ~ △DCE by the

Will mark brainliest if you answer ! the taco shop sold 198 lunches friday. this number is 3 more than 3 times the number they sold monday. let n represent the number of lunches sold monday. which equation shows an equality between two different ways of expressing the number of lunches sold on friday? a. n – 3 = 198 b. 3n – 3 = 198 c. 3n + 3 = 198 d. n + 3 = 198
