Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint, that means segment AB has to be the same length as BC.

Therefore:

2(3x-1)=8x-20

6x-2=8x-20

18=2x

9=x

2n+7+7n=13+3n+8n <br><br><br>please help
Rasek [7]

first combine like terms so 2n + 7n which is 9n


so 9n + 7 = 13 + 3n + 8n


then combine on other side so 9n + 7 = 13 + 11n

then subtract 7 to 13 so 6

sp 9n + 6 = 11n

then subtract 9 to the other side so 2n


6 = 2n then divide all by 2

n= 3

A brace for a shelf has the shape of a right triangle. Its hypotenuse is 10 inches long and the two legs are equal in length. Ho
vagabundo [1.1K]
This is a classic example of a 45-45-90 triangle: it's a right triangle (one angle of 90) & two other sides of the same length, which means two angles of the same length (and 45 is the only number that will work). With a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are easy to determine:
45-45-90
1-1-sqrt2
Where the hypotenuse corresponds to sqrt2.
Now, your hypotenuse is 10.
To figure out what each leg is, divide 10/sqrt2 (because sqrt2/sqrt2 = 1, which is a leg length in the explanation above).
Problem: you can't divide by radicals. So, we'll have to rationalize the denominator:
(10•sqrt2)/(sqrt2•sqrt2)
This can be rewritten:
10sqrt2/sqrt(2•2)
=10sqrt2/sqrt4
=10sqrt2/2
=5sqrt2 Hope this helps!!
