My answer-

Simplifying 5x + -14 = 8x + 4

Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 8x + 4 Reorder the terms: -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x

Solving -14 + 5x = 4 + 8x Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8x' to each side of the equation. -14 + 5x + -8x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x -14 + -3x = 4 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0 -14 + -3x = 4 + 0 -14 + -3x = 4 Add '14' to

each side of the equation. -14 + 14 + -3x = 4 + 14

Combine like terms: -14 + 14 = 0 0 + -3x = 4 + 14 -3x = 4 + 14

Combine like terms: 4 + 14 = 18 -3x = 18 

Divide each side by '-3'. x = -6

Simplifying x = -6

Remember, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

get 1 of the x on one side

5x-14=8x+4
minus 5x both sides (we want on left side because 8>5 and I like positive stuff)

5x-5x-14=8x-5x+4
0-14=3x+4
-14=3x+4
minus 4 both sides
-14-4=3x+4-4
-18=3x+0
-18=3x
divide both sides by 3
remember, negative/positive=negative
-18/3=(3x)/3
-6=x(3/3)
-6=x(1)
-6=x
x=-6

AFC = FC / Quantity printed

So given she prints 1,000 posters: AFC = 250.00/1000 = $0.25 
Given she prints 2,000 posters: AFC = 250.00/2000 = $0.125 
Given she prints 10,000 posters: AFC = 250.00/2000 = $0.025 

ATC = TC / Quantity printed 

where TC = FC + Variable C * Quantity printed 

If she prints 1000: TC = 250 + 2000*1000 = 2,000,250 
ATC = 2,000,250/1000 = 2000.25 

If she prints 2000: TC = 250 + 1600*2000 = 3,200,250 
ATC = 3,200,250/2000 = 1600.125 

If she prints 10000: TC = 250 + 1600*2000 + 1000*8000 ($1000 for each additional poster after 2000) = 11,200,250 
ATC = 11,200,250/10000 = 1120.025

Can you very be kind and answer

Lera25 [3.4K]

area of a circle is PI x r^2

2 = d/2 = 5.4/2 = 2.7 cm

using 3.14 for PI

3.14 x 2.7^2 = 22.89 square inches

360 degree in a circle, shaded area is 180 degree, which is 50%

so 22.89 x .5 = 11.45 cm^2

Points B, D, and F are midpoints of the sides of ΔACE. EC = 38 and DF = 16. Find AC. The diagram is not to scale.

Lunna [17]

Answer: The measure of AC is 32.

Explanation:

It is given that the Points B, D, and F are midpoints of the sides of ΔACE. EC = 38 and DF = 16.

The midpoint theorem states that the if a line segments connecting two midpoints then the line is parallel to the third side and it's length is half of the third side.

Since F and D are midpoints of AE and EC respectively.

So by midpoint theorem length of AC is twice of DF.

$AC=2\times DF$

$AC=2\times 16$

$AC=32$

Therefore, the length of AC is 32.
