3 Mei wrote the subtraction expression shown. She will rewrite it as an addition expression to find its value -8-1-49 Part A Write a number in each blank to show an equivalent addition expression. Part B What is the value of Mei's expression? Show your work. ​

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

38 was the other number of your question.

answer: as the alternate interior angles are congruent, the opposite

sides of quadrilateral abcd are parallel.

step-by-step explanation:

so, the missing phrase in elba's proof is: alternate

interior angles

let's break this statement up so we can find the answer:

by cpctc, angle abd is equal to angle cdb and angle adb is

equal to angle cbd.

since

angle abd is equal to angle cdb, this means that they are alternate interior angles

so, the correct answer would be: as the alternate interior angles are congruent, the opposite

sides of quadrilateral abcd are parallel.

two interior angles which lie on opposite sides of a

transversal   and on different parallel

lines and are called alternate interior angles.
