Answer:
7). x = 3.2, AC = 42.8
8). a = 6, YZ = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question that a point B is between A and C of the line segment AC.
⇒ AB + BC = AC
By substituting the values of segments,
5x + (9x - 2) = (11x + 7.6)
14x - 2 = 11x + 7.6
14x - 11x = 7.6 + 2
3x = 9.6
x = 3.2
Therefore, AC = 11x + 7.6
= 11(3.2) + 7.6
= 35.2 + 7.6
= 42.8
Question (8).
If Y is a point between X and Z,
⇒ XY + YZ = XZ
By substituting the measures of these segments given in the question,
(3a - 4) + (6a + 2) = (5a + 22)
9a - 2 = 5a + 22
9a - 5a = 22 + 2
4a = 24
a = 6
Since, length of segment YZ = 6a + 2
= 6(6) + 2
= 38
