We know the CE = 10x + 18 and DE = 7x - 1 and D is the midpoint of CE

⇒ CE = 2 * DE

⇒ 10x + 18 = 2 * (7x - 1)

⇒ 10x + 18 = 14x - 2

⇒ -4x = -20

⇒ x = 5

Now we also know that BC = 9x - 3 and AC = CE = 10x + 18

⇒ AB = AC - BC

⇒ AB = 10x + 18 - (9x - 3)

⇒ AB = x + 21

Substituting the value of x,

⇒ AB = 5 + 21

⇒ AB = 26

Hence, the value of AB is 26 units.

2(x/8 + 3) = 7 + 1/4x what is x
malfutka [58]

Answer:

x1 = 2 -\sqrt{5}

x2= 2 +\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

x/4 + 6 = 7 + 1/4x

(x^2 - 1)/4x = 1

x^2 - 1 = 4x

x^2 - 4x -1 = 0

x= (4+\sqrt{20})/2 = 2 -\sqrt{5}

x= 2 +\sqrt{5}

What is the inequality represented by this graph? (pls help its worth 30 points and ill give brainliest if ur correct :D)
Yakvenalex [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the equation of the solid blue line:

The line decreases by 1 unit for every 3 units across.

=> Slope of line = -1/3.

Also the y-intercept is 1.

=> Line equation: y = -1/3 x + 1.

We see that the graph below this line is shaded.

Therefore all y-values below or on the line are represented by the graph.

=> y <= -1/3 x + 1.

The answer is y <= -1/3 x + 1.

Find the square: (5x - 4y)2 <br><br> (and please put the process of solving the equation)
satela [25.4K]
(5x-4y)^2
(5x-4y)(5x-4y)

Multiply each term in one bracket in turn by the terms in the other bracket

(5x)(5x) = 25x^2
(5x)(-4y)=-20xy
(-4y)(5x)=-20xy
(-4y)(-4y)=16y^2

Put them together we have
25x^2-20xy-20xy-16y^2
25x^2-40xy-16y^2

The distance between the two islands shown on the map is 210 miles. A ruler measures the distance on the map is three 1/2 inches
BARSIC [14]
<span>210 miles equals 1 and 1/2 inches (3 1/2"s or 0.5"). 1 and 1/2" is equal to two 3/4" (3/4 + 3/4 = 1 and 1/2). 1.5" is equal to 210 miles, and 1.5" is equal to 2 * .75", you can divide 210 miles by two, which gives you 105 miles.</span>

Does anyone know how to do this?
Elanso [62]

~Shoto Todoroki here~

Answer:

( n − 2 ) × 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the sum of interior angles is ( n − 2 ) × 180 ∘ where is the number of sides. All the interior angles in a regular polygon are equal. The formula for calculating the size of an interior angle is: interior angle of a polygon = sum of interior angles ÷ number of sides.

hope this helps :))
