Answer:  The length of segment AB is 4.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, D is the mid-point of AC and C is the mid-point of DB. Also, AC = 3 cm.

We are to find the length of AB.

Since D is the mid-point of AC, so we have

AD : DC = 1 : 1,

and C is the mid-point of DB, so

DC : CB = 1 : 1.

Therefore, we can write

AD : DC : CB = 1 : 1 : 1.

From here, it implies that

AC:CB=2:1\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{AC}{CB}=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{CB}=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow CB=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow CB=1.5.

Thus,

AB=AC+CB=3+1.5=4.5.

Hence, the length of segment AB is 4.5 cm.

The only way I can envision this is put all 4 points on 1 line segment. They go in the order of ADCB. I can only draw it this one way.

Given
D is the midpoint of AC
C is the midpoint of DB
AC = 3 cm

Argument
AC = 3 cm           Given
AD = DC                       D is the midpoint of AC
AD = 3/2                       Definition of a midpoint.
DC = 3/2                       Definition of a midpoint

DC = 3/2                       Last statement
DC + CB = 1.5 + 1.5.   C is the midpoint of BD
DB = 3                          Consolidation of equals
AD + DB = AB               
1.5 + 3 = 4.5                 Substitution.

At the theater, the Garcia family bought 2 adult tickets and 3 children's tickets for $44.50. The Smith family bought 3 adult ti
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Adult= $11

Children = $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent adult ticket and y represent children ticket

2x + 3y= 44.50........equation 1

3x + 6y= 78........equation 2

From equation 1

2x + 3y= 44.50

2x= 44.50-3y

x= 44.50-3y/2

Substitute 44.50-3y/2 for x in equation 2

3x+ 6y= 78

3(44.50-3y/2) + 6y= 78

66.75- 4.5y +6y= 78

66.75 + 1.5y= 78

1.5y= 78-66.75

1.5y= 11.25

y= 11.25/1.5

y = 7.5

Substitute 7.5 for y in equation 1

2x + 3y = 44.50

2x + 3(7.5)= 44.50

2x + 22.5= 44.50

2x = 44.50-22.5

2x= 22

x= 22/2

x= 11

Hence the price of adult ticket is $11 and the price of children ticket is $7.5
