C is the centroid of isosceles triangle ABD with vertex angle ∠ABD. Does the following proof correctly justify that triangles ABE and DBE are congruent? It is given that triangle ABD is isosceles, so segment AB is congruent to DB by the definition of isosceles triangle.

Triangles ABE and DBE share side BE, so it is congruent to itself by the reflexive property.

It is given that C is the centroid of triangle ABD, so segment BE is a perpendicular bisector.

E is a midpoint, creating congruent segments AE and DE, by the definition of midpoint.

Triangles ABE and DBE are congruent by the SSS Postulate.

Triangle ABD with segments BC, DC, and AC drawn from each vertex and meeting at point C inside triangle ABD, segment BC is extended past C with dashed lines so that it intersects with side AD at point E.

There is an error in line 1; segments AB and BC are congruent.

There is an error in line 2; segment BE is not a shared side.

There is an error in line 3; segment BE should be a median.

The proof is correct.

Can someone help me?

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.
