Answer:

BC = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line segment AC = 28, that means line segment AB and line segment BC must add up to 28:

x - 10 + x + 2 = 28

2x - 8 = 28

2x = 36

x = 18

Now we plug in <em>x</em> into segment BC's equation to find length of BC:

BC = x + 2

BC = 18 + 2

BC = 20

Answer:

BC = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

28 = x-10 + x+2

Combine like terms

28 = 2x -8

Add 8 to each side

28+8 = 2x-8+8

36 = 2x

Divide by 2

36/2 = 2x/2

18 =x

We want to find BC

BC = x+2

     =18+2

     =20

For #1-8, solve the equation for the indicated variable:<br> Solve for x:<br> 1.<br><br> 3x + 2 = 8
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Steps to solve:

3x + 2 = 8

~Subtract 2 to both sides

3x = 6

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = 2

Best of Luck!

Yeah I don’t get this
umka2103 [35]

using pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(12x)^2 + (16x)^2 = 10^2

square each term

144x^2 + 256x^2 = 100

combine like terms

400 x^2 = 100


divide by 400 on each side

x^2 = 1/4

take the square root on each side

x = 1/2


Answer:  x=1/2

4 less than the number product of a number and 8 is 44 .what it the number
Anettt [7]

Set up the problem like this: x - 4 + 8 = 44

x-4+8=44             (8-4)

x+4=44

  -4   -4                (subtract 4 from both sides)

x=40

Answer: the number is 40.
