Given: AD || BC and AD ≅ BC
Prove: AB || CD

Statement 1: it is a parallelogram

Reason 1: if one pair of sides of a quadrilateral are parallel and congruent sides, then it is a parallelogram.

Statement 2: AB is parallel to CD

Reason 2: in a parallelogram opposite sides are parallel.

QED

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
