Answer:
C.) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the triangle: angles b and c have the same arch, so they are congruent.
In a triangle, if two angles are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles, having two equal sides.
The sides opposite the congruent angles are congruent:
∠B → opposite side → AC
∠C → opposite side → AB
The sides AB and AC are equal. Make an equation:
Simplify the equation, solving for x. Add 7 to both sides:
Subtract 2x from both sides:
The value of x is 7. Insert the value of x into the given length of AC:
Simplify multiplication:
Subtract:
Therefore, the length of the line segment AC is 14.

The answer for this question would be true
We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.
Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.
9a² = 16a
9a² - 16a = 0 <-----subtract 16a from both sides
a (9a - 16) = 0 <-----factor the common a on the left side
a = 0 OR 9a - 16 =0 <----apply Zero Product Property
Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.
9a - 16 = 0
9a = 16 <----------- add 16 to both sides
a = 16/9 <----------- divide both sides by 9
Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9
