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

y^4-81=(y^2-9)(y^2+9)=(y-3)(y+3)(y^2+9)\\\\
x^2 +10x +24 =x^2+10x+25-1=(x+5)^2-1=(x+5-1)(x+5+1)=(x+4)(x+6)

I don’t really understand could you help
givi [52]

Answer:

M: (-7, -3)

A: (0, -3)

T: (0, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

each of the points are associated with a letter. you can find the points by looking at the points it matches up with in the formatting of (x,y)

for example, for M, you can see that the dot on the x axis seems to be hovering below -7, on the y axis, it seems to be hovering next to -3. therefore, its (-7,-3)
