If AE is x+50, then the whole thing must be x=50. 
if a portion of that, CE, is x+32, then the rest of it, AC, must be x+18.
Because no matter what X is, 32+18=50.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

                             AC= 18

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Points A,B,C,D, and E are collinear and in that order.

AE = x+50 and CE = x+32.

Now, we know that the length of the line segment AC is equal to the length of the line segment AE minus the length of the line segment CE.

i.e.

AC=AE-CE

i.e.

AC= x+50-(x+32)

AC=x+50-x-32

( Since if the sign before the parentheses is negative then the terms comes out of the parentheses with a opposite sign )

Hence, on combining the like terms we have:

AC=x-x+50-32

AC=0+18

Hence, we get:

               AC= 18

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 14tan(24°)

area = 0.5(base)(height)

Find the angle that triples the height.

tanθ = 3×14tan(24°)

θ = arctan(3×14tan(24°)) ≅ 53.2°

Who do you do the problem 7/9+1/7+3/5? please explain thoroughly.
Evgen [1.6K]
To add fractions you want to make sure that the bottom numbers are the same so we have to make them the same, but we have to make sure that the fractions are unchanged so we get the correct answer

so if we find out what number that 9,7, and 5 can all multiply into. we find that 9 times 7 times 5 or 315 is the number that will work

so to get them to all be over 315, we must multiply each fraction by a form of 1/1 or x/x or (number)/(same numbe as on top)

so 7/9 times (35/35)=245/315
1/7 times (45/45)=45/315
3/5 times (56/56)=168/315

we add them togther
245/315+45/315+168/315=(245+45+168)/315=458/315
this simplifies to 1 and 143/315
