Answer:

The answer to your question is: BD = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

C is the midppoint of AD

B is the midpoint of AC

AC = 5

BD = ?

Process

We know that B is the mid point of AC, then AB = BC

AB + BC = 5

but 2AB = 5

AB = 5/2

AB = 2.5 = BC

Then AC = CD if AC = 5 then CD = 5

Finally

BD = BC + CD

BD = 2.5 + 5

BD = 7.5

Answer:

$24-4x$

Step-by-step explanation:

As initial number of stickers was 24, so we can find number of stickers left after decorating x cards by subtracting number of stickers used in x cards from 24.

$\text{Number of stickers that Niu has left}=24-4x$
