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.

Suppose you have 34 bread slices and 24 cheese slices. how many cheese sandwiches can you make

Brums [2.3K]

17 if you maintain the ratio of 2:1 for bread and cheese, but you would get a remainder of 7 cheese slices. You could, however, cut up the extra pieces of cheese and add ~0.41 slices of cheese to each sandwich, which would melt into the rest of the cheese if you are grilling the sandwich. Otherwise, it's just an extra chunck, which is perfectly fine.
