The length of BC is equivalent to 12 units

<h3>Midpoint of a line</h3>

If the midpoint if Ac is B, then the expressions below are true;

AB+BC = AC

AB = BC

Given the following parameters

AB = x + 6, and

AC = 5x - 6

BC = x + 6

Substitute

x+6+x+6 = 5x - 6

2x+12 = 5x - 6

2x-5x = -6-12

-3x = -18

x = 6

Determine the measure of BC

BC = x + 6

BC= 6 + 6

BC = 12units

Hence the length of BC is equivalent to 12 units

F + 2.5= 3f + 7.24 (What first step would you do to solve for f? )

Step2247 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have our question.

f + 2.5= 3f + 7.24

Then you combine like terms that taking the coefficients apart.

That is,

NOTE: WHEN TAKING A NUMBER ACROSS AND EQUAL SIGN THE SIGN CHANGES, E.G - TO + .

f - 3f = 7.24 - 2.5

-2f = 4.74

Divide both sides by coefficient of f which is -2

-2f = 4.74

-2 -2

f = 8.49
