Answer:
<u><em>The length of AD is 32 feet</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportional distances
</u>
When distances are proportions of others, we can express all of them as relative fractions until we reach some known distance and solve for the desired length
Let's call x the length of AD. Given C is the midpoint of AD, then

Given B is the midpoint of AC, then

If we know BC=8 feet


The length of AD is 32 feet
Answer:
x = 5, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given equations:</u>
<u>From the first equation we get:</u>
<u>Substitute x in the second equation, find y:</u>
- 3x - y = 17
- 3*(1-2y) - y = 17
- 3 - 6y - y = 17
- -7y = 17 - 3
- -7y = 14
- y = -14/7
- y = -2
<u>Find x:</u>
- x = 1 - 2y
- x = 1 - 2*(-2)
- x = 1 + 4
- x = 5
