Given HD=JD and HC=JB prove HB=JC

Question

Need help with this geometryproof please help.

 

Answer 1

Agreed, we need to see the figure...

Going out on a limb, it is SOUNDS like point H,B,D,C,J are on the line segment,

AND it is TUTOR's choice without the diagram!

Given: HD = JD

HC = JB

Prove: HB = JC

Since HC = JB,

then HD+DC = JD+BD

So then DC = BD by subtracting HD=JD from both sides

Since HD = JD,

then HB + BD= DC+ JC.

Subtracting BD=DC from both sides

completes the proof...
