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.

Three numbers X, Y, and Z are in the ratio 2:7:8. If 12 is subtracted from Y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in t
Dimas [21]
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if  X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
   16k²= 49k²-168k +144
  33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number  to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32

Answer: Choice #2

Step-by-step explanation: The slope of -1/4 means that the line is ascending to the left, which rules out the first and last choice. The y-intercept of -3 means that it crosses the y-axis at (0,-3). This is why it is #2.
