If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
To divide 36/9 using the number line you have to jump from zero with length of 9 until reach 36, and the result will be the number of jumps.
I do the jumps by steps, but you can draw in the number line:
0. First jump from 0 to 9.
,
1. Second jump from 9 to 9+9=18.
,
2. Third jump from 18 to 18+9=27.
,
3. Fourth jump from 27 to 27+9=36.
,
4. Great!! We already reach 36.
So, we need four jumps of 9 to reach 36 from 0.
So, the result is 36/9=4
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line can be calculated with the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
In this case we have:
(-4-(2))/(7-5)
(-6)/(2)
-3
Let me know if this helps!
