So first you would combine the like-terms so you get:

and combine the second like-terms:

now you only have a two step equation and you continue by doing the reciprocal and you add the -1/5 to the 24.8 where you get:
7/9x=24.6
then because the 7/9 is being multiplied by the x and your trying to isolate it you divide it by the 7/9 on both sides and you'll end up getting
x=31.628571429....
You need three non-collinear points to name a plane.
Non-collinear means "not on the same straight line". So these three points can't all lie on the same straight line. If three points do lie on the same straight line, then it is impossible to generate a single unique plane.
Answer:
102.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The length of BC is 7
Step-by-step explanation: Assuming the lengths of the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are congruent, then
AB=DC and
AD=BC
Inputting the values of AB, DC and AD as given in the question:
x + 8 = 3x ...(1)
x + 3=? ...(2)
We have to solve for the value of x to get the actual lengths and thus ascertain BD.
From equation (1):
8 = 3x - x
8 = 2x
8/2 = x
Therefore, x = 4.
If x = 4 then equation(2) would be
4 + 3= 7.
Hence, the actual lengths of the quadrilateral are:
AB = 4 + 8. DC = 3(4)
=12. =12.
AD = 4 + 3. AD = BC
= 7. Therefore, BC = 7.
Hence, it is confirmed that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram since both the opposite sides are proven to be congruent.
