Since A is the midpoint of BC, we can assume BA and AC are equal to each other.

We also know that BC = BA + AC = 23 + 23 = 46

Since A is the midpoint of BC, A divides BA and AC equally.
Therefore, BA=AC.
Since BA=AC,
3x+8=23
Or, 3x= 23-8
Or, 3x= 15
Or, x=15/3
Therefore, x=5.
Ans: x=5.

Answer:

Estimate = 3400 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Books read by students.

Kindergarten 247

First grade 385

Second grade 1347

Third grade 1549

We have to round the each number to nearest hundred.

247 rounded to the nearest hundred is 200.

385 rounded is 400

1347 rounded is 1300

1549 rounded is 1500

Total = 200 + 400 + 1300 + 1500 = 3400

Hence,

Estimate = 3400 books

Family drinks 1 3/4 gallons of milk every 4 1/2 days what is the unit rate of milk per day

natita [175]

$\bf \cfrac{milk}{day}\qquad \cfrac{1\frac{3}{4}}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}}{\frac{4\cdot 2+1}2}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{7}{4}\quad }{\frac{9}{2}}\implies \cfrac{7}{\underline{4}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{2}}{9}\implies \cfrac{7}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{9}\implies \cfrac{7}{18}$

which gives us a quotient of about 0.39 gallons of milk for one day.<span />

Use the Quadratic Formula

dem82 [27]

Answer:

1/2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is as given:

( -b±√(b^2-4ac) )/2a

To use it, plug in the a,b and c values.

ax^2+bx+c

In this case a is equal to 2, b is equal to -7, and c is equal to 3

plugging it into our formula gives us:

(-(-7)±√(-7^2-4*2*3) )/2*2

Which is equal to:

7±√(49-24) / 4

= 7±√25 / 4

=7±5 / 4

=2/4, 12/4= 1/2, 3
