Answer:
C.) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the triangle: angles b and c have the same arch, so they are congruent.
In a triangle, if two angles are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles, having two equal sides.
The sides opposite the congruent angles are congruent:
∠B → opposite side → AC
∠C → opposite side → AB
The sides AB and AC are equal. Make an equation:
Simplify the equation, solving for x. Add 7 to both sides:
Subtract 2x from both sides:
The value of x is 7. Insert the value of x into the given length of AC:
Simplify multiplication:
Subtract:
Therefore, the length of the line segment AC is 14.

3/2
<em>Step One:</em> 1 3/8, transform the number into a improper fraction:
- To have a mixed number in to a improper fraction, you need to use addition and multiplication. For 1 3/8, We first multiply the denominator (8, also know to be the bottom number of the fraction) to the whole number (1). 8x1= 8
- NOTE: The original denominator (8) will be use for are improper, again playing as the denominator, we only multiply the denominator for the numerator (which is the top number of a fraction).
- After multiplying, we'll add are product with the numerator (3) for the process. 8+3= 12
- Now we have both numerator and denominator for 1 3/8, we can create the improper fraction. 12 as the numerator and 8 as the denominator. 12/8
- We still need to simplify the number. To that, we need the biggest whole number, or rather I call it the lowest number, that can be divide both in 12 and 8.
- 4 can be divide by both number so: 12/4= 3 and 8/4=2
- Now 3 is are simplify numerator and 2 is are simplify denominator.
Answer/explanation
4(3x+5)=-4
You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,
12x+20=-4
Then you will combine like terms
12x+20=-4
-20 -20
12x=-24
Then you will divide 12 to isolate x
Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2
You take the exponent and move that many places with the number that you get on the opposite side
