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

Solve the system. <br> y= -2x + 1<br><br> y= 2x - 3
Neporo4naja [7]

Equation 1: y = -2x + 1

Equation 2: y = 2x - 3

Since both equations already have y isolated, we are able to simply set the right side of both equations equal to each other. Since we know that the value of y must be the same, we can do this.

-2x + 1 = 2x - 3

1 = 4x - 3

4 = 4x

x = 1

Then, we need to plug our value of x back into either of the original two equations and solve for y. I will be plugging x back into equation 2 above.

y = 2x - 3

y = 2(1) - 3

y = 2 - 3

y = -1

Hope this helps!! :)
