Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A-------6--------B-------?--------C

Midpoint is center that divides the line segment into two equal halves.

∴    AB = BC

If line AB measures 6 units in length, then, line BC will measure 6 units in length.

     AB = BC = 6 units

     AC = AB + BC

     AC = 6 units + 6 units

     AC = 12 units

OR

We can say If B is the midpoint of AC, then AC is twice as long as AB.

     AC = 2AB

     AC = 2 × 6 units

     AC = 12 units        

Therefore, the length of line AC is 12 units.

Bill weighs 120 lbs and is gaining ten lbs each month. Phil weighs 150 lbs and is gaining four lbs each month. How many months w
vaieri [72.5K]
First, let's write two expressions, letting x= the number of months which have elapsed:

Bill: 120 + 10x
Phil: 150 + 4x

If we set them equal to each other, then solve for x, that will be the number of months where their weights equal each other:

120+10x = 150 + 4x   [starting equation]
-120  -4x    -120 -4x    [ subtract 120 from both sides, and 4x from both sides, to isolate the term with the variable]

<u>6x</u> = <u>30</u>     [divide both sides by 5]
 5      5

x=6. They will weigh the same in six months.
