The answer is 144.

AC and CE have the same ratio as BA and DE. So you can get the answer by getting their proportions.

<u> 84 </u> = <u> 7 </u>
156-x x

Cross multiply, transpose, and simplify to get the variable x.

84x = 1092-7x
84x + 7x = 1092
91x = 1092
x = 12

To get AC, substitute.

AC = 156 - x
AC = 156 - 12
AC = 144

What is another way to write the expression t. (14--5) ?

melomori [17]

Answer: Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the Distributive Property in order to solve this exercise.

The Distributive property states that:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ac$

In this case you have the following expression provided in the exercise:

$t(14-5)$

Then, in order to write this expression in another way, you can apply the Distributive property. Multiply each number inside the parentheses by "t".

Applying this procedure, you get:

$t(14-5)=(t14)-(t5)$

Notice that this expression matches with the one shown in the the second option.
