(This is very confusing)Tania planted five seeds in her garden nadia planted times as many seeds as Tania how many seeds did nad
Fittoniya [83]
There's a number missing from the question. It's supposed to be right before the word "times".
If it were there, the answer would be (5 times that number).
The way the question is written, without that number, there's no answer.

Point C ∈ AB and AB=18 cm. The distance from C to A is 3 cm. shorter than the distance from C to B. Find AC and CB.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

AC=7.5 cm

CB=10.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we don't know the distance from C to B, we can label it as x. Our equation will be x+(x-3)=18. Simplify that so it is 2x-3=18. Add 3 to both sides and get 2x=21. x=10.5 So AC=7.5 cm and CB is 10.5 cm
