Isosceles trapezoid ABCD is shown with midsegment EF. If base BC = 15x, base AD = 32x − 2, and EF = 20.5x + 8, what is BC?

The value of the length of BC is 45 units

<h3>How to determine the length BC?</h3>

The given parameters are:

BC = 15x

AD = 32x - 2

EF = 20.5x + 8

Where the parallel bases are AD and BC and the midsegment is EF

By the midsegment theorem, we have

2 * EF = AD + BC

Substitute the known values in the above equation

2 * (20.5x + 8) = 15x + 32x -2

Open the bracket

41x + 16 = 15x + 32x - 2

Evaluate the like terms

6x = 18

Divide both sides by 6

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 in BC = 15x

BC = 15 * 3

Evaluate

BC = 45

Hence, the value of the length of BC is 45 units

P:-3x + 8x - 5x = x<br><br> q: (3x)(5y) = 15xy<br><br> Which of the following statements is false?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: Statement p is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both cases, we need to isolate the variables:

p: -3*x + 8*x - 5*x = x

   (-3*x - 5*x) + 8*x = x

    -8x + 8*x = x

        0 = x

This will be true only for one value of x, so this is not always true, which means that the statement is false.

q: (3*x)*(5*y) = 15*x*y

let's solve the left side:

  3*x*5*y = 15*x*y

  (3*5)*(x*y) = 15*x*y

   15*x*y = 15*x*y

This is true for every value of x and y, then this statement is true.

Whats the answer to -3a+8-8(7-2a)​
Serga [27]

Answer:3.1875

Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying

-3 + 8 + -8(7 + -2a) = 0

-3 + 8 + (7 * -8 + -2a * -8) = 0

-3 + 8 + (-56 + 16a) = 0

Combine like terms: -3 + 8 = 5

5 + -56 + 16a = 0

Combine like terms: 5 + -56 = -51

-51 + 16a = 0

Solving

-51 + 16a = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '51' to each side of the equation.

-51 + 51 + 16a = 0 + 51

Combine like terms: -51 + 51 = 0

0 + 16a = 0 + 51

16a = 0 + 51

Combine like terms: 0 + 51 = 51

16a = 51

Divide each side by '16'.

a = 3.1875

Simplifying

a = 3.1875
