Answer:

<h3>      If you mean: AC=CE, the answer is:  AB = 24</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

D is the midpoint of CE, then

CD = DE = 0.5CE = 0.5(10x+18) = 5x + 9

So:   5x + 9 = 7x - 1

            -9          -9

        5x  =  7x - 8

        -7x      -7x

       -2x  =  -8

      ÷(-2)       ÷(-2)        

          x  =  4

AC = CE = 10x + 18 = 40 + 18 = 58

BC = 9x - 2 = 36 - 2= 34

AB = AC - BC = 58 - 34 = 24

Matthew manages the packaging department of his company. Yesterday, the department operated for only 4 hours due to a company pi
yKpoI14uk [10]

Alright, lets get started.

If Matthew wants to complete packages at an average rate of at least 39 packages per hour.

And they worked 4 hrs only due to picnic, yesterday, it means they have to make 39*4 = 156 packages.

But they made only 112 packages means they are short of 156 - 112 = 44 packages.

Suppose they are working today t hrs, and his department will complete 43 packages per hour today.

It means they are going to make 43 t packages today.

This 43 t packages includes those 44 too , which they are short of yesterday due to picnic.

So, average will be

\frac{43 t - 44}{t} = 39 (39 average given in question)

Cross multiplying

39 t = 43 t - 44

Adding 44 in both sides

39 t + 44 = 43 t - 44 + 44

43 t = 39 t + 44

Subtracting 39 t in both sides

43 t - 39 t = 39 t + 44 - 39 t

4t = 44

Dividing 4 in both sides

t = 11 hrs

Hence they have to woth 11 hrs today : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Which are correct representations of the inequality -3(2x - 5) &lt;5(2 - x)? Select two options.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The third and fourth options.

Step-by-step explanation:

You simplify the inequality first...

-6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

-x < -5

x > 5

The first option is incorrect since it is less than.

The second option is basically -5x < 15; x > -3; that's incorrect.

The third option is basically -x < -5; x > 5; that is correct!

The fourth option is correct since it shows more than 5.

The fifth option is incorrect because it shows less than -5.

Hope this helps!
