Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

DF = x + 2

FB = 2x + 1

DB = 15

x = ?

Process

                        FB is the longest and is equal to the sum of BD + DF

Then:

                        2x + 1 = 15 + x + 2                Simplify like terms

                        2x - x = 15 + 2 -1

                               x = 16

DF = 16 + 2  = 18

FB= 2(16) + 1 = 32 + 1 = 33

                        33 = 18 + 15

                        33 = 33
