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

A study was made to find out if those who drank tea consumed more water than those who did not. The study concluded that those w
kirill [66]
I would say that the results of the study are not significant. This is because the difference of those who drink tea and did not drink tea is small and more or less will have the same values at some points of the research. Having a difference of  0.024, cannot really say anything or differentiate the two.
