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

Write the decimal as a fraction in simplest form. 0.25 (with 25 repeating)
zlopas [31]
1/4, because you disregard the repeating 25s and round, and 25 x 4 is one hundred, so simplified it's 1/4.
