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

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b. m being the rate of the slope (rise over run) so in this case 2/1, or simply 2. b is the y intercept, or where a line passes through the y intercept, in this case it is -1.

Find the area of irregular figure ​
elixir [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

For square

A=bh

A=30(20)

A=60in²

For triangle

A=½bh

A=½(40)(30)

A=½(120)

A=60in²

Add

60+60=120in²

(ai) The correct answer is the first option;  The amount of tax the student is willing to add to a gallon of gasoline.

(aii) The correct answer is the last option; Whether the student believes that global warming is a serious issue or not.

(b)  The correct answer is the first option; two-sample t interval

Step-by-step explanation:

A response variable in statistics is the idea or concept of needs to be proven right or wrong. It remains a response variable until it has been proven.  

An explanatory variable simply means an independent variable. It doesn't depend on any other variable and at the same time, it can be manipulated.

In construct a 95% confidence interval to compare the two groups, two-sample t test is the appropriate t test to use.

A jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces. The amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams and the amo
borishaifa [10]

Let x represent number of bracelets and y represent number of necklaces.

We have been given that a jeweler made 7 more necklaces than bracelets. This means that number of necklaces will be x+7. We can represent this information in an equation as:

y=x+7...(1)

We have been given that the amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams, so amount used for x bracelets would be 6x grams.

We are also told that the amount of gold in each necklace is 16 grams, so amount used for y necklaces would be 16y grams.

Since the jeweler used 178 grams of gold, so we will equate the amount of gold used in x bracelets and y necklaces with 178 as:

6x+16y=178...(2)

Therefore, our required system of equations would be:

y=x+7...(1)

6x+16y=178...(2)
