1 answer:

8 0

Step 1: subtract x from -3. New equation should be y=-3-x.
Step 2: plug that equation into top equation. Should be 5x + 2(-3-x) = 9.
Step 3: use distribitive properties on 2(-3-x). New equation is 5x - 6 - 2x = 9.
Step 4: combine like terms. New equation 3x - 6 = 9.
Step 5: work it out. Divide 3x and 9 by 3. New equation is x - 6 = 3. Add 6 to -6 and 9. Final eqaution is x = 9.
Step 6: swap 9 for x in second equation. New equation is 9 + y = -3
Step 7: subtract 9 from 9 and -3. New equation is y = -12
: = = -

To solve this problem, let us first define what a median is. A median is a line segment that connects a vertex and the midpoint of the side opposite to that vertex.

<span>In this case, the vertex is point A while the opposing side is side CB. Since it connects to the midpoint of CB, therefore this means that the median AD equally divides side CB into 2 parts. Since the length side CB is the sum of the lengths side CD and side BD. Therefore this means that:</span>

length of CD = length of BD

length of CD = 24
