1. Given: 8 x + 7 = 7 ( x + 3 )

12. 9 x 11 = 5 x + 17
4 x = 28

Statements

Reasons

1. 8 x + 7 = 7 ( x + 3 )

1. Given

2. 8 x + 7 = 7 x + 21

2. Dist. prop.

3. x + 7 = 21

3. Subtr. prop. =

4. x = 14

4. Subtr. prop. =

2. 3 x y = 9
y = 3 x + 9
y = 3x 9
slope = 3 and (0, 8) is the y-intercept, so the
equation is y = 3 x + 8

x=7
13. Lines p and k
14. 9 y + 4 > 3 y + 16
6 y > 12
y >2
15. 7 x + 5 = 3 x + 4 + 2 x + 19
7 x + 5 = 5 x + 23
2 x = 18
x=9

17. Since B is the midpoint of AC , AB CB ,

which means the triangles are congruent by
SAS.

6. 7 x + x + 4 = 180
8 x + 4 = 180
8 x = 176

18. We are given a pair of sides and a pair of

angles. The other pair of sides would be
TB UF .

x = 22
mABD = 7 ( 22 ) = 154
7. A triangle is an isosceles triangle if and only if
it has at least two congruent sides.
8. If an angle is an acute angle, then it
measures less than 90.
9. W Y Z X
10. 1 & 3, 2 & 4, 5 & 7, 6 & 8
11. 3 & 5 or 4 & 6; 180

19. Reason #4: Vertical angles

Reason #5: AAS
20. 8 x 31 = 4 x 7
4 x = 24
x=6
21. mM = 180 ( 68 + 54 ) = 58
The shortest side is across from U: SM
22. 2 ( 3 x 7 ) = 4 x + 10
6 x 14 = 4 x + 10
2 x = 24
x = 12

23. (a) no; (b) yes

24. 402 + h 2 = 412

h = 412 402 = 9
122 + 92 = c 2
c = 225 = 15
P = 15 + 12 + 40 + 41 = 108
