Answer:

AB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = 5x – 26

BC = 2x + 1

AC = 43

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB + BC.

We know that BD = BC, BD = 5x-26 and BC = 2x+1.  We can set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x - 26 = 2x + 1   Subtract 2x from each side

5x - 26 - 2x = 2x + 1 - 2x

3x-26 = 1  Add 26 to each side

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27  Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x + 1 = 2(9) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB + BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB + 19  Subtract 19 from each side

43 - 19 = AB + 19 - 19

24 = AB

tina is a waitress that makes $10.40, but an average 8 hour shift for her brings in an additional $85 in tips. how much does tin
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Tina makes per hours =\$11.925

Step-by-step explanation:

Tina makes 8 hours =\$10.40

and additional tips =\$85

total amount makes for 8 hours = \$10.40+\$85

total amount makes for 8 hours =\$95.40

total amount makes for 1 hours =\frac{total\ amount}{total\ time}\\\\=\frac{\$95.40}{8}\\\\=\$11.925

Solve for x and y:<br> x = 5 – 2y<br> 4y = 15 - 2x
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the system of equations:

x=5-2y\\4y=15-2x

We can solve this by substitution. Substitute the first equation into the second. Thus:

4y=15-2(5-2y)

Distribute the right:

4y=15-10+4y

Subtract 4y from both sides:

0=15-10

Subtract the right:

0=5

As you can see, this statement is not true. In other words, the system of equations have no solution (likely because the lines are parallel).

And we're done!

Geometry! Please help!
Natalija [7]
So the equation for a trapezoid is A= \frac{b_1+b_2}{2} *h , with the b variable being the 2 bases, h variable for height, and the a variable for area. Firstly, we will need to plug in the appropriate numbers into the equation, and it'll look like this:

136= \frac{12+14}{2} *h

Next, we will need to combine 12 and 14, then divide the sum by 2. Your equation should look like this: 136=13*h

Lastly, just divide each side by 13, and your answer should be 10.46=h
