AC and DB are the same length. Set the two to equal each other and solve for y.
9y + 1 = 8y +17
Subtract 8y from both sides:
y + 1 = 17
Subtract 1 from each side:
y = 16
Now you know Y you can find the the length of DB:
DB = 8y +17 = 8(16) +17 = 128 + 17 = 145
EB is half of DB:
EB = 145 / 2
EB = 72.5
Answer:
33/36
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, what you would need to do is add 30 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 9, to find the solution.
You can check if it is correct by substituting the same value back into the original equation and seeing if the left hand side is equal to the right hand side.
