If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
The answer would be x=4 and y=-2.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
6 minutes, because 1 yd is equivalent to 3 feet, which is equivalent to 36 inches. If a centipede crawls at 6 inches per minute, you do 6 x 6, which equals 36, and get 6 minutes!
The best way to estimate it is to do "written addition" in your head, adding 1+8, then 9+3, all the way until you get to the front. the actual answer is 189,459, so your answer should be somewhere close to that.
