Question

If EB =4y-12 and ED= y+17, find the value of y. Then find ED,DB,EB.

E____________/____________D_____________/__________B

Answer 1

Given values of EB and ED are

`EB = 4y-12, ED= y+17`

And from the diagram, we can say that D is the midpoint of EB.

THerefore

`2ED = EB`

Substituting the values of EB and ED, we will get

`image`

Therefore,

`image`
