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

You are installing a new pre-constructed fence in front of your house. each fence section measures 4 ½ feet wide, and each end w
irga5000 [103]
Since, each side of the fence should have the 1 3/4 feet wide decorative piece, the width of the fence should be subtracted by 2 pieces (1 3/4 feet)
                                 = 26.5 feet
Then, divide the remaining width by 4.5 feet and the answer is 5.88. Thus, approximately 5 pieces of the 4 1/2 feet should be installed.
