Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

![**Practicing Solving Similar Triangles 2**
**Diagram Explanation:**
The image shows two triangles, \( \triangle ACB \) and \( \triangle EDB \), which are similar to each other. The triangles share a common angle at point A and another common angle at point B, indicated with an arc.
\[ \triangle ACB: \]
- Side \( AB \) has a length of 4.
- Segment \( CD \) has a length of 4.6.
\[ \triangle EDB: \]
- Segment \( D \) is a point along side \( AB \).
- Segment \( DE \) has a length of 2.1.
- Side \( BE \) is parallel to side \( AC \), giving us two similar triangles.
Both triangles are aligned such that \( \overline{CD} \) is parallel to \( \overline{DE} \).
The task is to determine the length of side \( AC \), rounded to one decimal place.
**Problem Statement:**
What is the length of side \( AC \)? (Round to 1 decimal place)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2d0bce3f-e315-4955-850f-b265844e3b1e%2F48a07944-519c-478e-a759-55fa5b62d397%2F3uhiw8f.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
