We use the properties of equality to rewrite equations and solve equations for a variable. These properties allow us to maintain a balance between the two sides of the equation. Why is it important to keep the two sides of an equation balanced when solving? What other properties do we use to rewrite expressions and equations?

How do you use the elimination method for this question? explain, because i really want to understand!

In the following diagram it is given that dec,ab || dc, ad || eb, and ad is congruent to bc. a)why isn't abc a parallelogram even though it has a pair of parallel sides and a pair of congruent sides b)explain why be must be congruent to bc. further explain what type of triangle this makes triangle abc and what it tells you about angle 1 and angle 2c) finally why must angle 3 be congruent to angle 1? further, explain why we know that angle 3 is congruent to angle 2

Solve each quadratic equation by factoring and using the zero product property. 14x - 49 = x^2
