Answer:

The answer to your question is: AC = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Segment AC with midpoint = B

AC = 5x - 9

AB = 2x

AC = ?

Process

           total length = AC  but B is the midpoint so AB + AB = CA

                                                                                  2AB = CA

                Substitution        2(2x) = 5x - 9

                                             4x = 5x - 9

Solve for x                           4x - 5x = -9

                                             -1x = -9

                                              x = -9/-1

                                             x = 9

Finally,            AC = 5x - 9

                             = 5(9) - 9

                             = 45 - 9

                             = 36

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

he has to make a sale of $750

Step-by-step explanation:

first job pays $880 per week

second job pays $790 per week

amount first job is paying more=$(880-790)

=$90

therefore,12% should $90 if he wants to make an equal amount as the first job is paying therefore,sale he has to do

12% of x=$90

12/100*x=$90

x=90*100/12

x=9000/12

x=$750

thus he has to make a sale of $750 to earn a 12% comission of $90
