the length of segment AB is 13
3x + 7 = -x - 1
3x + 7 + = -1
4x + 7 = -1
4x = -1 - 7
4x = -8
x = -2
1 - 2x + 5 = 4x - 3
-2x + 6 = 4x - 3
6 = 4x - 3 + 2x
6 = 6x - 3
6 + 3 = 6x
9 = 6x
x = 6/9
x = 2/3
i helped you with the first two questions so you can see how you can solve it.
hope this helps, God bless!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Multiply
</u>


<u>Step 2: Combine
</u>


Answer: 
If it is

=2c+9, go to AAAAAA
if it is (

)(4c+16)=2c+9, go to BBBBB
AAAAAAAAA

=2c+9

=2c+9
times 4c+16 to both sides
1=(2c+9)(4c+16)
distribute
1=8c^2+68c+144
minus 1 both sides
0=8c^2+68c+143
use quadratic formula
c=

or

BBBBBBBBBBBB
(3/3)(4c+16)=2c+9
1(4c+16)=2c+9
4c+16=2c+9
minus 2c both sides
2c+16=9
minus 16 both sides
2c=-7
divide both sides by 2
c=-7/2
c=-3.5
if it is

=2c+9,
c=

or

if it is (

)(4c+16)=2c+9, c=-3.5
