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

Mumz [18]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the ratio this way

Pip: Sara: Total

5    : 4 :      9

We multiply each by 10 to get Pip to 50  (5*10 = 50)

5*10: 4*10: 9*10

50  : 40 :  90

One number is 1 more than 2 times another. Their product is 36. Find the numbers.
MrMuchimi
Honestly, this one works out to be a quadratic (which I don't really feel like going into detail) . . . so instead, since this one is fairly simple to think about, I'll simply try "trial and error" . . .

Possible combinations:
1 × 36 = 36
2 × 18 = 36
3 × 12 = 36
4 × 9 = 36
6 × 6 = 36

Obviously, multiply 4 × 2 = 8 . . . and 9 is one more than 8, which is 2 times the first number, 4 . . . so that's your answer . . .

the numbers are 4 and 9

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

p = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

EFGH is a cyclic quadrilateral ( all vertices lie on a circle )

The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, thus

p + 5p = 180

6p = 180 ( divide both sides by 6 )

p = 30
