Segment addition postulate. Trying to help my son figure out how to solve. Given AC=39. A=2x-8, B=x×17. Find X, AB AND BC. We go

t 25 for X, and 42 for both AB, BC. Its not correct. 42+42 does not equal 39.

Segment addition postulate says
AB+BC=AC

assuming that A, B, C are in order, and assuming that those are the points,

legnth of AC=|A-C|=39 (|x| means absolute value of x)

A=2x-8
b=17x
AB=|A-B|=|2x-8-17x|=|-8-15x|


we are only given AB but not BC so this is not solvable unless you know BC
AB+BC=AC
BC=AC-AB

BC=39-|-8-15x|
that's as far as I can go since we don't know any more

Express your answer as a polynomial in standard form.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

x² + 16x + 64

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(g(x)) , substitute x = g(x) into f(x), that is

f(x + 7)

= (x + 7)² + 2(x + 7) + 1 ← expand (x + 7)² using FOIL

= x² + 14x + 49 + 2x + 14 + 1 ← collect like terms

= x² + 16x + 64

David says he has 2/3 of a pipe length​ left, while Don says he has 11/16 of a length left. Which person has the longest section
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Don

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We make the fractions have common denominators so it is easier to compare them. We can do this buy multiplying 2/3 by a factor of 16, so it becomes 32/48. For 11/16, we multiply by a factor of 3 so it becomes 33/48. It is now apparent that Don has the longer pipe.
