Hi there! :)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x = -1}

Given:

AC = 22

BC = x + 14

AB + x + 10

AC is equivalent to AB + BC, therefore:

AC = AB + BC

Substitute in the expressions:

22 = (x + 10) + (x + 14)

Combine like terms:

22 = 2x + 24

Subtract 24 from both sides:

-2 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x = -1

Given : AC = 22, BC = x + 14, and AB = x + 10.

\rule{130}1

Solution :

:\implies\sf AB + BC  = AC\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Segment\: addition\: postulate}\Bigg\rgroup \\\\\\:\implies\sf (x + 10) + (x + 14) = 22\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Substitution}\Bigg\rgroup\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x + 24 = 22\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Simplify\:(added\:like\:term)}\Bigg\rgroup\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x = -2\\\\\\:\implies\sf x = \dfrac{-2}{2}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\pink{\sf x = -1}}}

A snack bar at an outdoor fair is open from 10 A.M. To​ 5:30 P.M. And has 468 bottles of water for sale. Sales average 1.3 bottl
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

the question is incomplete, so I looked for similar ones

the number of bottles of water remaining as a function of time:

f(x) = -78x + 468

1.3 bottles are sold per minute x 60 minutes per hour = 78 bottles per hour

x = number of hours

the slope is -78

the y intercept is 468

domain = 0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5 hours (from 10 AM to 5:30 PM)

range = 0 ≤ y ≤ 468 bottles

the snack will run out of bottles of water by 4 PM

78x = 468

x = 468 / 78 = 6 hours

if the snack wants to have enough bottles of water to serve all its customers, it will need:

78 x 7.5 hours = 585 bottles of water

Answer:

Square root of 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 36 = 6  so this is rational.

Recall that a rational number is one that can be written as a/b  where a and b are not 0. 6 can be written as 6/1.
