<h3>Answer: Choice D) 22.5</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

x = length of BC

AC = AB+BC

AC = 6 + x

CE = CD+DE

CE = 22+8

CE = 30

Triangles ACE and BCD are similar triangles (can be proven by the AA similarity theorem due to the fact that AE || BD)

Therefore the corresponding sides are proportional letting us set up the proportion below

AC/BC = CE/CD

(6+x)/x = 30/22 .... substitution

22(6+x) = 30x ... cross multiply

132+22x = 30x

132 = 30x-22x ..... subtract 22x from both sides

132 = 8x

8x = 132

x = 132/8 .... divide both sides by 8

x = 16.5

Now use this to find the length of AC

AC = 6+x

AC = 6+16.5

AC = 22.5

In the pair equations bx - 6y = 18 and 2x - 3y = 9, b is a constant. The system of two equations has infinitely many solutions.
sukhopar [10]

Well, if

{bx - 6y = 18 and {2x - 3y = 9, you might want to try elimination

Multiply second equation by -2: bx - 6y = 18 and -2(2x - 3y = 9)

Simplified: bx - 6y = 18 and -4x + 6y = -18

Now if you add them you get: -4x + bx = 0

Then simplified:  bx = 4x

divide by x:  b = 4

Your final solution is b = 4.

Hope that helps!

1. For AEFG shown below, construct the median from E to side FG. Leave all construction marks.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A median bisects the side it intersects with, so the first step is to bisect FG.

Set the compass slightly larger than half of FG.

Put the point on F and draw a half circle that intersects FG and faces G.

Put the point on G and draw a half circle that intersects FG and faces F.

Draw a line through the intersections of the two half circles, and the intersection of that line with FG is FG's midpoint.

Connect the midpoint with E, and the connecting line is the median.
