Question

If B is the midpoint of AC. AB = 4v and AC = 5v + 24. what is BC?

Answer 1

Answer:

v+24

Step-by-step explanation:

I first drew a line with A in one side and C in the other side. Then, I put B in the middle, as it is the midpoint. Under AB, I put 4v, and under AC, I put 5v+24. To get BC, you must subtract 5v+24 and 4v. I did 5v+24-4v. All I really had to do was subtract 4v from 5v which gave me v, since I can only subtract like-term numbers. Anyway, after that, I got v+24. Hope this helped!
