Answer:

AB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = 5x – 26

BC = 2x + 1

AC = 43

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB + BC.

We know that BD = BC, BD = 5x-26 and BC = 2x+1. We can set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x - 26 = 2x + 1 Subtract 2x from each side

5x - 26 - 2x = 2x + 1 - 2x

3x-26 = 1 Add 26 to each side

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27 Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x + 1 = 2(9) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB + BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB + 19 Subtract 19 from each side

43 - 19 = AB + 19 - 19

24 = AB

stellarik [79]

<span>So the given numbers are:
=> One year, the price of wheat is 8.87 dollars
=> the next year, the price of wheat is 9.60 dollars.
We were asked to round each prices of bushels of wheat to its nearest tenths.
=> 8.87, where 8 before the decimal point is ones, 8 next to decimal point is tenths and 7 is the hundredths.
=>round off to the nearest tenths
=> 8.9
=> next is 9.60, where 9 is the ones value, 6 is the tenths value and 0 is the hundredths.
=> round off to nearest tenths
=> 9.6
