3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8
7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes
t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes
It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.
DB is a median (given). It goes from vertex point D to midpoint B.
The point B is the midpoint of segment AC. So B cuts AC into two equal halves: AB and AC
Meaning AB = AC
AC = AB+BC ... segment addition postulate
AC = AB+AB ... substitution; replace BC with AB (valid because AB = AC)
AC = 2*AB
2*AB = AC
2*AB = 50 ... substitution; replace AC with 50
2*AB/2 = 50/2 ... divide both sides by 2
AB = 25 which is the answer
Answer:
-2
