Answer:
1/2 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
9/x + 2 = 20
Subtract 2 from each side
9/x + 2-2 = 20-2
9/x =18
Multiply each side by x
9/x *x = 18*x
9 = 18x
Divide each side by 18
9/18 = 18x/18
1/2 =x
The length of the line segment AB where

Answer: b. 14.1
For the first question, you will write a ratio of 1/2 oz:10 pounds. Please see the attached picture. There are 9 groups of 10 oz in 90 oz, so you will need 9 groups of the amount of medicine too!
For the second question, you need to understand that the exponent (2^3) must be evaluated first because all forms of multiplication/ groupings comes first before adding or subtracting.
Exponents are a way of showing repeated multiplication, so it is done first.
Simple drawing shows that measure interior angle at B is 25 degrees.
Easily seen from a drawing are that measure of angle CBD is 25 degrees, and measure of angle CAD is 65 degrees (which was already given).
Heres the plot formula!
