Answer: AB is 15

Step-by-step explanation: First, you need to draw a picture and label the parts of the line: AB=5x-15; BC= 3x-5; AC =28. Because of the segment addition postulate, you set the equation to be 5x-15+3x-5=28. Then you solve:

5x-15+3x-5=28

Add like terms:

8x-20=28

Add 20 to both sides

8x=48

Divide by 8

x=6

Now, you need to find the measure of AB, so you plug the 6 into the x variable for 5x-15

5(6)-15

30-15

AB=15

I’m bad at math. This looks easy but of course I have no idea
Zanzabum

Step-by-step explanation:

(this probably won't help so sorry) this is how I would do it:

6x+24 =90

90-24=66

6x= 66

66/6 =11

x=11

What is the value of x?
dimulka [17.4K]
Hi there!

To find x, we'll need to proceed methodically. First, we'll start by finding the length of ST. The 30-60-90 relationship tells us that ST = 2. Then, we can find RT, also using the 30-60-90 relationship. RT = 4. Lastly, we can use the 45-45-90 relationship to determine that x = 4.

Hope this helps!! :)
