Answer:
5.36
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
<BAD = <CAE, therefore, BD = EC
Let's take x to be the length of BD = EC
BD + DE + EC = BC
BC = 20,
BD = EC = x
DE ≈ 9.28
Thus,
x + 9.28 + x = 20
x + x + 9.28 = 20
2x + 9.28 = 20
Subtract 9.28 from both sides
2x + 9.28 - 9.28 = 20 - 9.28
2x = 10.72
Divided both sides by 2 to solve for x
BD ≈ 5.36

Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property does not appear to be involved in this question.
Let n represent the number of Noah's pencils. Then Andrew's total is ...
3n +5 = 17
3n = 12 . . . . . subtract 5 from both sides
n = 4 . . . . . . divide both sides by 3
Noah has 4 pencils.
X^2+3x=24, halve the linear coefficient, square it, and add it to both sides
In this case (3/2)^2=2.25
x^2+3x+2.25=26.25 now the left side is a perfect square...
(x+1.5)^2=26.25 take the square root of both sides
x+1.5=±√26.25 subtract 1.5 from both sides
x=-1.5±√26.25
x=-1.5-√26.25 and -1.5+√26.25
x≈ -6.62 and 3.62
