Given that the triangle is isosceles, we can say that AB = AC. Using the given expressions we can form the following equation.

\begin{gathered} AB=AC \\ 5x+8=7x-6 \end{gathered}

Let's solve for x.

\begin{gathered} 8+6=7x-5x \\ 14=2x \\ x=\frac{14}{2} \\ x=7 \end{gathered}

Once we have the value of the variable, we can find the length of AC.

\begin{gathered} AC=7x-6 \\ AC=7(7)-6 \\ AC=49-6 \\ AC=43 \end{gathered}<h2>Therefore, the length of AC is 43.</h2>

I NEEEDDD HELPPP!!! someone please help me outttt
disa [49]

Answer:

45°

Step-by-step explanation:

Segments GJ and HK intersect at F.

That makes angles JFK and GFH vertical angles and congruent.

An arc has the same measure as its central angle.

m<GFH = 45°

m<JFK = m<GFH

m<JFK = 45°

Help with number 14 please :))
Degger [83]

Answer:

b = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(k + a )(k + x) +  1 = k^2 + kx + ak + ax + 1

I think the way to solve this is to worry about the 36

k^s + 1 + ak should equal 36

We know that a = 2

k^2 + 1 + 2k = 36

k^2 + 2k + 1 - 36 = 0

k^2 + 2k - 35 = 0

(k + 7)(k - 5) = 0

k = -7   is the only acceptable answer. It is given that K < 0.

bx = kx + ax

b = k + a

b = - 7 + 2

b = - 5

Three randomly selected households are surveyed. the numbers of people in the households are 1,3,8 assume that samples of size n
Naily [24]
I assumed that 3 households are sampled.
Now, is the number in each of these households equal to 1, 3 and 8 people?

Next, the question says, samples of n=2 are randomly selected (with replacement) from these 3.

So are sample space is
11
13
31
33
18
81
38
88
83
88

This is done 9 times.
Is that how you understand the problem?
When they select the household with only 1 person, the variance is 0
When they select the household with 8 people, they variance will be from a discrete uniform distribution

Similarly for household with 3 individuals.
