J is between H and K. If HJ = 2x + 5, JK = 3x - 7, and KH = 18, find the value of x

We know that HJ + JK = HK

So lets substitute each part for their equation.

(2x + 5) + (3x - 7) = 18

Combine like terms

5x -2 = 18

Add 2 to both sides to eliminate it

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5

x = 4

Let me know if you have any questions about this! :)

Line bc is represented by 3x + 2y =8 line ad is a represented by -3 x -2y =6 what is the relationship of line bc to line ad expl
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Line BC:

3x + 2y =8

Line AD:

-3x - 2y =6

Adding both equations, in this case, gives us the point at which the lines intersect:

3x + 2y-3x-2y =8+6\\0=14

Since zero will never equal fourteen, the equation above means that lines BC and AD will never intersect. When two lines have no point in common, they are said to be parallel lines.
