Point A the beginning of line and point D end of the line segment 
So ,x+x+3 +2(x+3)=53
2x+3+2x+6=53
4x+9 =53
4x =44
x=11
length of BC is 2(11+3)=28

Answer:

 x=11,   BC  = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Points A, B, C, and D lie on line segment AD. If AB = x, BC = x + 3, CD = twice the length of BC, and AD = 53, what is the value of x? What is the length of BC?

AB=X             AB=11

BC=X + 3      BC= 11 + 3= 14

CD= 2(X + 3)  CD= 2(11 + 3)= 28

11+14+28=53

AD= 53

X + X + 3 + 2(X + 3) =53

2x+3+2x+6=53

4x+9 =53

   <u>-9= -9</u>

  <u>4x =44</u>

  4      4    

     x=11

length of BC is 11 + 3 = 14

8 – 3(x – 4) = 2x<br> Please help me!
sp2606 [1]
8 - 3x + 12 = 2x
(Distribute the -3 to the quantity in the parentheses)

20 = 5x
(Simplify by adding like terms)

4 = x
(Divide both side by 5 to isolate the variable)

X = 4

a culture started with 3000 bacteria. after 6 hours, it grew 3600 bacteria. predict how many bacteria will be present after 13 h
xxMikexx [17]
In the case of bacteria, we use the continuous growth equation:
Final=Initial×e∧(r×t)
In other words, the final amount is equal to the initial amount times e to the rate times time. In order to find your rate, you would plug in the numbers as follows:
3600=3000×e∧(6r)
Therefore: r=0.03
Next, you would plug in the r value and 13 hours into the equation to solve for the final amount.
F=3000×e∧(13×0.03)=4,453 bactera after 13 hours
