We are given an isosceles triangle ABC. Where AB = AC.

AB = 8x -4

AC = 5x +11.

BC = 4x -2

We need to find the length of BC.

We have AB = AC.

Therefore,

8x -4  = 5x +11.

Let us solve it for x now.

Adding 4 on both sides, we get

8x -4+4  = 5x +11+4.

8x = 5x +15.

Subtracting 5x from both sides, we get

8x -5x = 5x-5x +15

3x = 15.

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5.

<h3>Plugging x=5 in BC = 4x -2 .</h3>

BC = 4(5) -2 = 20-2 =18.

<h3>Therefore, length of BC is 18 units.</h3>

8x - 4 = 5x + 11 \\ 3x = 15 \\ x = 5

Substitute that into 4x - 2,
4(5) - 2 \\ = 20 - 2 \\ = 18

Answer : BC = 18

Hope this helps. - M

Which linear inequality is shown on the graph?
AlekseyPX
Answer: choice C) x-y <= 2

======================================

Explanation:

The two points (0,-2) and (2,0) are on the boundary line. The boundary line equation is y = x-2. We find this equation through the use of the slope formula to find that m = 1. The y intercept is -2 so b = -2. Therefore, y = mx+b turns into y = 1x+(-2) which simplifies to y = x-2

The equation y = x-2 can be arranged to get x-y = 2 (subtract y from both sides; add 2 to both sides)

So the answer is either x-y <= 2 OR it is x-y >= 2

The question is: which inequality has the test point (0,0) in it? We pick on the origin since 0 is the easiest number to work with.

Plug (x,y) = (0,0) into the equation for choice C
x-y <= 2
0-0 <= 2
0 <= 2
which is true. So choice C is the answer.

Choice D can be ruled out since...
x-y >= 2
0-0 >= 2
0 >= 2
which is false: 0 is not larger or equal to 2
