Answer:

AC = 146

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that B is the midpoint of AC, then

AB = BC, that is

9x + 1 = 6x + 25 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

3x + 1 = 25 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 8

Hence

AC = AB + BC = 9x + 1 + 6x + 25 = 15x + 26, thus

AC = (15 × 8) + 26 = 120 + 26 = 146

Answer:

146

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = BC (Definition of midpoint) so:

9x+1=6x+25.

Solve it as you would any other algebraic equation >>> 9x+1=6x+25 >>> 9x+1-1=6x+25-1 >>> 9x=6x+24 >>> -6x+9x=6x-6x+24 >>> 3x=24 >>> 3x/3=24/3 >>> x=8

AB=9x+1 >>> AB=9*8+1 >>> AB=73

BC=6x+25 >>> BC=6*8+25 >>> BC=73

AC=AB+BC >>> AC=73+73 >>> AC=146

Interest = $45.58, time = 1 year, rate = 2.25%. Find the principal. Round to the nearest hundredth place

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

$2,025.78

Step-by-step explanation:

I = Prt ⇒ P = $\frac{I}{rt}$

2.25% = 0.0225

P = 45.58 ÷ ( 0.0225 × 1 ) ≈ $2,025.78

Which is the greatest common factor of the expression below? 32a²b2 + 36a²c2 – 16ab3

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

32a²b² = 2 * 2*2*2*2 * a² * b²

36a²c² = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * a² * c²

16ab³ = 2 * 2 * 2* 2 * a * b³

Greatest common factor = 2*2*a = 4a

32a²b² + 36a²c² - 16ab³ = 4a*(8ab² + 9ac² - 4b³)
