Answer:

AD = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint of AC then AB = BC = 2x - 5

Since C is the midpoint of AD then AC = CD, thus

AB + BC = CD, that is

2x - 5 + 2x - 5 = x + 29

4x - 10 = x + 29 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 10 = 29 ( add 10 to both sides )

3x = 39 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 13

Hence

AD = AB + BC + CD

= 2x - 5 + 2x - 5 + x + 29 = 5x + 19, thus

AD = (5 × 13) + 19 = 65 + 19 = 84

What two numbers multiply to -96 and add to 20

anygoal [31]

$xy=-96\\
x+y=20\\\\
xy=-96\\
x=20-y\\\\
(20-y)y=-96\\
20y-y^2=-96\\
y^2-20y-96=0\\
y^2-24y+4y-96=0\\
y(y-24)+4(y-24)=0\\
(y+4)(y-24)=0\\
y=-4 \vee y=24\\\\
x=20-(-4) \vee x=20-24\\
x=24 \vee x=-4\\\\
(x,y)\in\{(24,-4),(-4,24)\}$

So these numbers are -4 and 24.
