Answer:

5. x = -1

6. x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5. AB = 5

BC = 2x + 6

AC = x + 10

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

5 + 2x + 6 = x + 10 (substitution)

Collect like terms

5 + 6 + 2x = x + 10

11 + 2x = x + 10

2x - x = - 11 + 10

x = -1

6. AB = 9x + 7

BC = -3x + 20

AC = 39

AB + BC = AC (segment addition postulate)

(9x + 7) + (-3x + 20) = 39 (substitution)

Solve for x

9x + 7 - 3x + 20 = 39

Collect like terms

9x - 3x + 7 + 20 = 39

6x + 27 = 39

Subtract 27 from both sides

6x + 27 - 27 = 39 - 27

6x = 12

Divided both sides by 6

6x/6 = 12/6

x = 2

A painter painted about a half a room in a half day. Coley estimated the painter would paint 7 rooms in 7 days. Cole's estimate
DIA [1.3K]
Hello Trickstwin,

How are you doing? Referring to your question, of course, we see that the painter paints half a room in half a day. We want to find the base of this operation. So, we have to figure out how many rooms he paints in one full day. If he paint half a room in half a day, he then must paint a room in one whole day. So we know the following:
\left \{ {{Rooms Painted=1} \atop {Days Taken=1}} \right.

Which leads on. We multiply that one day by seven, and funny enough:

1 x 7 = 7 which means his guess is reasonable. Do you get what I am saying? If so, your answer is True, have a great day!

Thank you,
Darian D.
