Use a definition, postulate, or theorem to find the value of x in the figure described. Point E is between points D and F. If DE = x − 3, EF = 6x + 5, and DF = 8x − 3, find x. Select each definition, postulate, or theorem you will use. A)definition of segment bisector B)definition of midpoint C)Linear Pair Theorem D)Segment Addition Postulate The solution is x =?

Option (D)

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since point E is in the mid of the segment DF,

Therefore, by the Segment addition postulate,

DF = DE + EF

Since DF = (8x - 3), DE = (x - 3) and EF = (6x + 5)

By substituting these values in the given postulate,

(8x - 3) = (x - 3) + (6x + 5)

8x - 3 = (x + 6x) + (5 - 3)

8x - 3 = 7x + 2

8x - 7x = 3 + 2

x = 5

Therefore, x = 5 will be the answer.

but there’s no any figure there!
