9x–42=5 is x = 11.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
9x- 42 = 5...
When we put x = 9
then we will get 81 - 42 =39
put x = 10 then
9(10) - 42 = 90 - 42 - 48
put x = 11
then 9(11) - 42 = 99-42 = 57
So x = 11 is the answer.
To get the distance DC we proceed as follows:
AB-CD
=11-3
=8
BC=15
hence using Pythagorean theorem
c²=a²+b²
c=DC
a=BC
b=8
thus
c²=15²+8²
c²=225+64
c²=289
thus
c=√289
c=17 units
Answer: B. 17 units
