Here is a useful link to the correct steps. The instructions may not be exactly the same but I think you can do it.
Answer:
AB=29; BC=27
Step-by-step explanation:
So they told us AB=4x+9 and that BC=5x+2, and AC=56 , now to help with the question you can draw this information on a number line. Now on a number you can see that basically AC=AB+BC.
So you would write it as such,,
4x+9+5x+2=56
Combine like terms
9x+11=56
Now you have to isolate the x by itself but first get rid of the 11.
9x+11-11=56-11
You would get
9x=45
Here you can divide 9 by both sides to isolate x.
9x/9=45/9
{x=5}
Now to find the value for both substitue x in the equations for both
1. AB=4x+9 where x is 5
4(5)+9 =AB
20+9 =AB
29=AB
You would do the same with BC
2. BC= 5x+2 where x is 5
5(5)+2= BC
25+2= BC
27=BC
If you want to check your answers you can just substitute x for 5 in the first equation we did where AC=AB+BC

Answer:
y = -17/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute with the givens.
30= 8(8) + 4y.
Multiply parentheses.
30 = 64 + 4y
Subtract.
30-64= -34
-34 = 4y.
Divide each side by 4.
y = - 8.5, or -17/2
hope that is right!
