AD = AB
AD = 2r+8
AB = 5r-13
we need to find the value of r to find the total length
so 2r+8 = 5r-13
subtract 2r from each side:
8 = 3r -13
add 13 to each side:
21 = 3r
divide both sides by 3
r = 21 / 3 = 7
r=7
now we know r, so replace r with 7 in the equation for AD
AD = 2r+8 = 2(7) +8 = 14 +8 = 22
the answer is D. 22
I would use the quadratic formula for this:
x = -b ± √b² - 4ac over 2a
x = 8 ± √64 - 4(1)(0) over 2(1)
x = 8 ± √64 over 2
x = 8 <span>± 8 over 2 [simplify]
x = 4 </span><span>± 4
x1 = 4 + 4 x2 = 4 - 4
x1 = 8 x2 = 0
Thus, the solutions for x would be 0 and 8.</span>
Yes you can write a ratio in more than one way
The answer would be 30 if u use the gcf
