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

Convert 5 1/8 to a fractional notation
nataly862011 [7]
Basically speaking, a fractional notation is the same as a fraction itself. Thus, the best way to express the given problem in here would be to turn it into a fraction. Since the given variable is a mixed number, meaning that it is a whole number and a fraction combined, it can be turned into just a fraction or more specifically, an improper fraction. To do this, we have to take the denominator and multiply it to the whole number. After that, the product would be added to the numerator. The sum would be the new numerator and the denominator would remain the same. Thus, the answer would be 41/8
