Let us draw a picture to make the things more clear.
Attached is the image.
We have been given that

Therefore, we have

Now, in triangle bcd, we have

Now, in triangle acb, we have

Thus, ad is 15 cm.
Answer:
x = 10.75
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x+9)=8x-7
Step 1: Distribute the 4 to the x and 9
4 * x = 4x
4 * 9 = 36
We now have 4x + 36 = 8x - 7
Step 2: add 7 to both sides
36 + 7 = 43
-7 + 7 cancels out
We now have 4x + 43 = 8x
Step 3 subtract 4x from both sides
4x - 4x cancels out
8x - 4x = 4x
We now have 4x = 43
step 4 divide both sides by 4
4x / 4 ( the 4s cancel out and we're left with x )
43/4 = 10.75
We're left with x = 10.75
Answer:
B) y = -3x - 5
