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.

A two digit number when read from left to right to right consiststs of consecutive integers. the nmber is six more than for time
Solnce55 [7]

I suppose you want to know such number. Since we have a two digit number consisting of two consecutive integers, the only possible numbers are:

12,23,34,45,56,67,78,89

Since we sorted all the cases out, we simply have to check which one satisfies the requirement. For each number, we'll write four times the the sum of its digits, and add 6, hoping to get the original number.

\text{Number: } 12,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 12\ \ \text{plus six: } 18\neq 12

\text{Number: } 23,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 24\ \ \text{plus six: } 30\neq 23

\text{Number: } 34,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 28\ \ \text{plus six: } 34

So, the answer is 34.

You purchase 5 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of oranges for $9.Your friend purchases 5 pounds of apples and 6 pounds of oranges
babymother [125]

Answer:

x = 1 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let apples are represented by x

and let oranges are represented by y

You purchase 5 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of oranges for $9. This line in equation format can be written as:

5x + 2y = 9

Your friend purchases 5 pounds of apples and 6 pounds of oranges for $17.

This line in equation format can be written as:

5x + 6y = 17

Now we have two equations:

5x + 2y = 9 -> eq (i)

5x + 6y = 17 -> eq(ii)

We can solve these equations to find the value of x and y.

Subtracting eq(i) from eq(ii)

5x + 6y = 17

5x + 2y = 9

-     -         -

_________

0+4y= 8

=> 4y = 8

y= 8/4

y = 2

Now, putting value of y in eq (i)

5x + 2y = 9

5x +2(2) = 9

5x +4 = 9

5x = 9-4

5x = 5

x = 1

so, x = 1 and y = 2
