8 0

Answer:

17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

85% can easily be written as 85/100 and this is true, but we have to simplify to the simplest form.

An easy way to simplify is to divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

The GCF of 85 and 100 is 5.

85 ÷ 5 = 17

100 ÷ 5 = 20

We can no longer simplify 17/20 because 17 is prime so your final answer is 17/20!

In the figure above AB = 4x + 6 and BC = 7x + 15. If AC = 120, find the length of segment AB.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 4x + 6 and BC = 7x + 15 AC is the sum of AB and BC

so 4x + 6 + 7x + 15 = 120 add like terms

11x + 21 = 120 subtract 21 from both sides

11x = 99 divide both sides by 11

x = 9
