Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2x-6)=96

2x-6=96/8

2x-6=12

2x=12+6

2x=18

x=18/2

x=9

Hello, thanks for usin Brainly. :)

Let's solve by using distributive property.

8(2x-6)=96

16x-6=96

16x-48=96

+48 +48

16x = 144

x = 9

First, what we did was do 8 x 2 & 6 x 8.

Then, we got 16x-6=96.

We want to get X by itself, therefore we need to get rid of -48, so we 48 to all of our terms.

Then our equation should look like 16x = 144.

Divide and get 9!

Therefore, x = 9.

Wait, how can we be sure?

Let's check our answer.

Let's allow our x value to be 9.

Now, our equation should look like:

8(2(9)-6=96

Follow the PEMDAS rule.

8(18-6)=96

8(12)=96

8 times 12 is 96.

96 = 96 Done!

Therefore, we know our answer is correct.

Given segments AB and CD intersect at E.

nata0808 [166]

The length of a segment is the distance between its endpoints.

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$
AB and CD are not congruent
AB does not bisect CD
CD does not bisect AB

(a) Length of AB

We have:

$\mathbf{A = (1,2)}$

$\mathbf{B = (4,5)}$

The length of AB is calculated using the following distance formula

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 5)^2}}$

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{18}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$

(b) Are AB and CD congruent

First, we calculate the length of CD using:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

Where:

$\mathbf{C = (2, 4)}$

$\mathbf{D = (2, 1)}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(2 -2)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}}$

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{9}}$

$\mathbf{CD = 3}$

By comparison

$\mathbf{CD \ne AB}$

Hence, AB and CD are not congruent

(c) AB bisects CD or not?

If AB bisects CD, then:

$\mathbf{AB = \frac 12 \times CD}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3\sqrt 2 \ne \frac 12 \times 3}$

Hence, AB does not bisect CD

(d) CD bisects AB or not?

If CD bisects AB, then:

$\mathbf{CD = \frac 12 \times AB}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3 \ne \frac 12 \times 3\sqrt 2}$

Hence, CD does not bisect AB
