Answer:

Segment AD is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know AC is 13, BC is 8, and BD is 12. We need the lengths of AB and CD.

To get AB's length, subtract BC's length from AC's length. We should get 5 for the length of AB (13 - 8 = 5).

To get CD's length, subtract BD's length from BC's length. We should get 4 for the length of CD. (12 - 8 = 4)

Now to add AB, BC, and CD. Add 5, 8, and 4 to get 17. (13 + 4 = 17)

The length of Segment AD is 17.

<h3>Answer: 17</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

AC = 13 and BC = 8

Those two facts must mean AB = AC-BC = 13 - 8 = 5.

Similarly, CD = BD - BC = 12 - 8 = 4

So,

AD = AB + BC + CD

AD = 5 + 8 + 4

AD = 17

------------

Another way to approach this problem would be to say

AD = AC + BD - BC

AD = 13 + 12 - 8

AD = 17

This works because when we add up AC with BD, we're double counting the portion from B to C. So this is why we subtract off BC to correct for this overcounting so to speak.

Katarina [22]

Answer: Area = 6m²

Smaller number = 16

Hours = 9.6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) w = x m 2) w = x + 1 m

l = x + 5 m l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m

A₁ = A₂

A = w*l

A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x

A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2

A₁ = A₂

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²

The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.

2 = x

5 40

5x = 80

x = 80/5 = 16

1) 2 (x+3) +3 (5-x)=

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2 (x+3) +3 (5-x)=

Simplifying

2(x + 3) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

2(3 + x) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

(3 * 2 + x * 2) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

(6 + 2x) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

6 + 2x + (5 * 3 + -1x * 3) = 0

6 + 2x + (15 + -3x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

6 + 15 + 2x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 6 + 15 = 21

21 + 2x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x

21 + -1x = 0

Solving

21 + -1x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-21' to each side of the equation.

21 + -21 + -1x = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 21 + -21 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + -21

-1x = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 0 + -21 = -21

-1x = -21

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 21

Simplifying

x = 21

2. 3 (y+2) -4y=-24y

Simplifying

3(y + 2) + -4y = -24y

Reorder the terms:

3(2 + y) + -4y = -24y

(2 * 3 + y * 3) + -4y = -24y

(6 + 3y) + -4y = -24y

Combine like terms: 3y + -4y = -1y

6 + -1y = -24y

Solving

6 + -1y = -24y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '24y' to each side of the equation.

6 + -1y + 24y = -24y + 24y

Combine like terms: -1y + 24y = 23y

6 + 23y = -24y + 24y

Combine like terms: -24y + 24y = 0

6 + 23y = 0

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 23y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 23y = 0 + -6

23y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6

23y = -6

Divide each side by '23'.

y = -0.2608695652

Simplifying

y = -0.2608695652

3. -(x+2) -2(1-x)=

Simplifying

-1(x + 2) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-1(2 + x) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

(2 * -1 + x * -1) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

(-2 + -1x) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

-2 + -1x + (1 * -2 + -1x * -2) = 0

-2 + -1x + (-2 + 2x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -2 + -1x + 2x = 0

Combine like terms: -2 + -2 = -4

-4 + -1x + 2x = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + 2x = 1x

-4 + 1x = 0

Solving

-4 + 1x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 1x = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 1x = 0 + 4

1x = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4

1x = 4

Divide each side by '1'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4
