Answer:

The length of AC is 126 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ED=9 units, AB=81 units, EC=x and AC=140-x.

In triangle ABC and EDC,

\angle A=\angle E                           (Given)

\angle ACD=\angle ECD                     (Given)

By AA property of similarity,

\triangle ABC\sim \angle EDC

Both triangles ABC and EDC are similar. The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{AC}{EC}

\frac{81}{9}=\frac{140-x}{x}

9=\frac{140-x}{x}

9x=140-x

9x+x=140

10x=140

Divide both sides by 10.

x=14

The value of x is 14. So, the length of AC is

AC=140-14=126

Therefore the length of AC is 126 units.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangles are similar, so we setup a proportion  

(140-x)/81 = x/9

solving gives x = 14

AC = 140-x = 140-14 = 126

How to solve <br> 2(-3x + 4) = 5x + 2
ryzh [129]

Answer:

x = 6/11

Step-by-step explanation:

2(-3x + 4 ) = 5x + 2  

    -6x + 8 = 5x + 2      

           - 2          - 2

    -6x + 6 = 5x

   +6x         +6x

             6 = 11x

            /11   /11

           6/11 = x
