Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC=AB+BC

so 16=x+1+x+7

which simplifies to 16=2x+8

subtract eight from both sides to get 8=2x

then divide by 2 to get that x=4

AB=x+1, which substitutes into 4+1=5

The area of a Square is 144 because 12x12 is 144 and if both sides are 12 then that equals 144.

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=4\ cups\\\\Water=6\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=4+6=10\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{4}{10}\times 100=40\%$

Third:

$Orange\ juice\ concentrate=2\ cups\\\\Water=4\ cups\\\\Tota\ content=2+4=6\ cups\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{Orange\ juice\ concentrate}{Total\ amount}\times 100\\\\Percentage\ of\ orange\ juice\ concentrate=\frac{2}{6}\times 100=33.33\%$
