When solving an equation, Drew's first step is shown below. Which property justifies Drew's first step? {Original Equation:}Original Equation:-2(x + 5) =−2(x+5)=\,\, 11\text{First Step:}First Step:-2 x + -10 =−2x+−10=\,\, 11

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

ion

step-by-step explanation:

ion ion ion ion ion ion ion ion ion ion ion

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
