Answer:

The value of bc is 5.9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: b is between a and c, ac=15.8 and ab=9.9.

We need to find the measure of bc.

Since b is between a and c, therefore the segment ac is the sum of two segments ab and bc.

ac=ab+bc

Substitute ac=15.8 and ab=9.9 in the above equation.

15.8=9.9+bc

Subtract 9.9 from both sides.

15.8-9.9=9.9+bc-9.9

5.9=bc

Therefore the value of bc is 5.9 units.

x = 3y - 1

2y + x = x + 18


2y + 3y - 1 = 3y - 1 + 18

5y - 1 = 3y + 17

2y = 18

y = 9


x = 3(9) - 1

x = 27 - 1

x = 26

Is the product of 2/5 and 5 greater than or less than 2/5 is it greater than or less than 5
vlabodo [156]
A great way to figure this out is to actually multiply it.  2/5 x 5/1      You can simplify numbers diagonally, so the two fives can both cancel out into ones. now we have 2/1 x 1/1, which is the same as 2x1    This equals 2, which is less than five.
One great thing to know is that anything multiplied by a number less than one (a fraction or a decimal) will always be smaller than the original number.

Answer: 2
Hope this helped!! (:

What is the slope of the line passing through (-3, 5) and (5, -3)?
Slav-nsk [51]
Dy/dx, ie., the difference in y divided by the difference in x. If you have two points A and B, sort them in ascending order of x.

dx = 5 - -3 = 8 (x coordinates of B minus x coordinate of A)
dy = -3 - 5 = -8 (y coordinate of B minus y coordinate of A)

dy/dx = -1

So the slope is -1. The equation of the line is y=2-x.
