A: because "reflection across the y axis then across the x axis is the only option that does not work"
Answer: A segment bisector, always passes through the midpoint of the segment and divides a segment in two equal parts. Points, lines, segments, and rays are all types of segment bisectors. If either a ray or a line serves as a segment bisector, it will be infinite.
Hello your very welcome :)
Answer:
In fact, the AB could be calculated in a quickest way, using Pythagorean theorem. In here, we try to use the property of trigonometry to work out AB.
Before applying trigonometry, in this right triangle we can calculate the remaining angle C:
C = 180 - 90 - A = 180 - 90 - 53.13 = 36.87 deg
We can use cosine formula, but here we use the sine formula for the sake of convenience. We have:
sine(angle measure) = ratio of opposite side over hypotenuse
In detail, sineC = AB/BC
Then, we have: AB = BC x sineC = 15 x sin(36.87 deg) = 9.000002 = ~9 ft
Hope this helps!

7(x-2) + 3(x + 2) = 5(x-6)...distribute thru the parenthesis
7x - 14 + 3x + 6 = 5x - 30...combine like terms
10x - 8 = 5x - 30...subtract 5x from both sides
10x - 5x - 8 = -30....add 8 to both sides
10x - 5x = -30 + 8...combine like terms
5x = - 22
x = -22/5 = - 4 2/5 <==
