Answer:

The Length of AC is 17 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

BL = LC

AD = 24

AL = LD

AL = LD = half of AD = half of 24 = 12. { FJ bisect AD }

Also,

CD = 2 + LC

To Find:

AC = ?

Solution:

By Addition Property we have

LC + CD = LD ............{ L - C - D }

LC + ( 2 + LC ) = 12 ..........{substituting the given values}

∴ 2(LC) = 12 -2

∴ 2 (LC) = 10

∴ $LC =\frac{10}{2} \\\\LC = 5\ units\\$

Again, By Addition Property we have

AC = AL + LC ................{ A - L - C }

AC =12 + 5

∴ AC = 17 units

∴ The Length of AC is 17 units.

Write the number equal to 5 tens and 13 ones

serious [3.7K]

To find this out we have to add 5 tens and 13 ones.
5 tens is equal to
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 50

And 13 ones is equal to
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13

Now add 50 and 13
50 + 13 = 63

So your answer is 63

good Luck! :)

Avery bought a washing machine originally priced at $864.72 but on sale for 30% off. After 4% sales tax, what was the total cost

atroni [7]

Answer: 629.51

Step-by-step explanation: 30% of 864.72 is 259.416

864.72 - 259.416 = 605.304 4% of 605.3 = 24.212 605.3 + 24.21 = 629.51

Explain the difference between properties of equality and properties of inequality when solving equations and inequalities

algol [13]

Answer: An equality is a statement of equal measure. It stands for an absolute statement, without any leeway. That is, there is only a set number of solutions they can take.

Here is an example: x + 17 = 20

In this case, x can only take one solution because it is an absolute statement. Obviously, these can change, but conceptually, they will contain a set of answers a variable can take.

An equality with degree of n will inevitably have n number of answers a variable can take.

However, there are more solutions x can take for an equality. This is because inequality signs are a broader set of equality signs.

Example: x + 17 > 20

In the previous example, there was only one solution that x can take, namely x = 3. However, if we have an inequality, we're merely finding all sets of values x can take that will keep this statement true. In this case, there are an infinite amount of solutions, provided x is greater than 3.

Properties of inequalities vs equalities

This segment is quite tricky to grasp, because we are so used to the equality. The hardest section is to determine when to change the inequality sign. Whenever we multiply or divide by a negative number, we must flip the sign.
