In triangle abc segment de is parallel to the side ac . (the endpoints of segment de lie on the sides ab and bc respectively). find de, if ac=20cm, ab=17cm, and bd=11.9cm;

Abag has more green balls than blue balls, and there is at least one blue ball. let bb represent the number of blue balls and let gg represent the number of green balls. let's compare the expressions 2b2b and b + gb+g. which statement is correct? choose 1

The table represents a linear function. what is the slope of the function? –6 –4 4 6
