Answer:

AC = 6 ÷ 7

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

AB = 5x - 2

BC = 9x - 10

So,

AC = AB + BC

= 5x - 2 + 9x - 10

14x -12 = 0

AC = 6 ÷ 7

As B is the mid point of point A and point C, so the value of x is determined by solving the given equations mentioned in the question

5x - 2 = 9x - 10

5x - 9x = -10 +2

-4x = -8

x = 2

Hence, the value of AC and the X is 6 ÷ 7 and 2 respectively

The volume of a cube-shaped box with edges 6 centimeters in length?

Marizza181 [45]

Since the length of each side of cube is s.

Volume of a cube = s³ = s*s*s

Since length of side = 6cm

Volume = 6³ = 6*6*6 = 216

Volume = 216 cm³

Option A.

Answer:

you can get 12 gallons on gas

Step-by-step explanation:

x/30=1/2.42

step 1) cross multiply

x * 2.42 = 1 * 30

2.42x=30

step 2) divide both sides by 2.42

2.42x/2.42 = 30/2.42

= 12.396694

belka [17]

ANSWER

$88 \: inches$

EXPLANATION

The given bicycle has a tyre that is 28 inches in diameter.

How far the bicycle moves forward each time the wheel goes around is the circumference of the bicycle tyre.

This is calculated using the formula:

$C =\pi \: d$

We substitute the diameter and

$\pi = \frac{22}{7}$

$C = \frac{22}{7} \times 28$

This simplifies to

$C =22 \times 4$

$88 \: inches$
