Answer:

AB is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB+BC.

We know that BD=BC, BD=5x-26 and BC=2x+1. So set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x-26=2x+1

Subtract 2x from each side:

5x-26-2x = 2x+1-2x

3x-26 = 1

Add 26 to each side:

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x+1 = 2(9)+1 = 18+1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB+BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB+19

Subtract 19 from each side:

43-19 = AB+19-19

24 = AB

A graph has number of days on the x-axis and number of canned goods on the y-axis. A line goes through points (2, 699) and (8, 3
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Slope:-63

Y-intercept: (0,825)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope= y2-y1 ÷ x2-x1

321-699 ÷ 8-2

-378 ÷ 6 =-63

Y-intercept:  

y=-63x+b

to get b (y-intercept) plug in one of the points and solve.

​

699=-63(2)+b

699=-126+b

699+126=-126+126+b

699+126=0+b

825=b

Answer:

Option B is correct

\angle 2 = \angle 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

\angle 1 and \angle 2 are supplementary.

prove that: a || b

It is given that:

\angle 1 and \angle 2 are supplementary.

By definition of supplementary

⇒\angle 1+ \angle 2 =180^{\circ}            .....[1]

From the figure, you can see that:

\angle 1 and \angle 3 are also supplementary.

⇒\angle 1+ \angle 3 =180^{\circ}            .....[2]

By [1] and [2] we have;

⇒\angle 1+ \angle 2=\angle 1+ \angle 3

Simplify:

\angle 2 = \angle 3

Since ∠2 and ∠3 are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles states when the two lines are parallel, then Corresponding Angles are equal and vice versa.

by definition we have;

a || b                      proved!

Jason is traveling by car from his home to his office. He has gone 3.5 miles so far. From this point on, he can cover 100 miles
Elden [556K]
First the equation needs to be set to "y" to find the total amount of miles traveled:
y=
Then you know he has already gone 3.5, this is a constant and can be added to the graph immediately
y=3.5
Then you know every two hours he can cover 100 miles, which means 50 miles per hour or 50 per x, so add 50x to 3.5 to show that he will go 3.5 miles plus 50 miles for every hour he is traveling.
y=3.5+50x
