Answer:
C) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
BC = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
since B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC
AC = 8x - 20 & AB = 3x - 1
AC = AB + BC or 2AB
8x - 20 = 2(3x - 1)
8x - 20 = 6x - 2
subtract 6x form each side
2x - 20 = -2
add 20 to each side
2x - 20 + 20 = -2 + 20
2x = 18
x = 9
BC = 3x - 1
BC = 27 - 1
BC = 26
AC = 52
Answer:
Y = 6 X=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
- Add the numbers 8x+-8x=0. 5y+y=6y. 22+14=36
- So that means 6y=36. So Y would equal 6
- Substitute the values it one of the original equations. 8x + 5(6) =22. 8x+30=22
- Minus 22 from both sides.
- That would give you 8x=-8
- So x would equal - 1
