If B is the midpoint of AC, AB=x+6 and AC=5x-6, then what is BC?

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB=BC. It is also BC=AC-AB

AB = x + 6

AC = 5x - 6

BC = (5x - 6) - (x + 6)

We can kinda use distributive property, like this:

BC = 5x - 6 -x - 6

Combine like terms:

BC = 4x - 12

To verify, we can add AB and BC to see if their sum is equal to AC.

(x + 6) + (4x - 12) = 5x - 6

If we are correct, this equation will be true.

x + 6 + 4x - 12 = 5x - 6

Combine like terms:

6 + 5x - 12 = 5x - 6

5x - 6 = 5x - 6

It's correct!

BC = 4x - 12. Final Answer.

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

-4.2 degrees. What you would do is from 8-12 (midnight) is 4 hours. So it dropped -16.8 degrees in those 4 hours so -16.8 / 4 is -4.2 degrees. So it dropped -4.2 degrees every hour but it was also -4.2 degrees at 9:00 p.m.

Answer: 3253

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A test requires that you answer either part A or part B.

Part A consists of 7 true-false questions.

i.e.  there are 2 choices to answer each question.

Now, the number of ways to answer Part A : 2^7=128    (1)

Part B consists of 5 multiple-choice questions with one correct answer out of five.

i.e.  there are 5 choices to answer each question.

Now, the number of ways to answer Part B : 5^5=3125                           (2)

Now, the number of  different ways to completed answer sheets are possible=  128+3125=3253          [Add (1) and (2) ]
