Given that B is between A and C. If AB=x, BC =2x-3, and AC = 30. Find x and bc

Mathematics

Artemon [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x=11

BC=19

Step-by-step explanation:

AB+AC=AC this is because B is in between A and C. So now we can substitute all of the line segments, so we have

x+2x-3=30          Now you add 2x and x

3x-3=30      Now you add 3 to both sides so you can get 3x alone on one side

3x=33        Now you divide both sides by 3 so you get the x alone on one side

x=11

The next step is to substitute x to find BC.

BC=2x-3       Substitute the x with 11

BC=2(11)-3    Then multiply 2 and 11 because that is the rule with parenthesis

BC=22-3        then subrtact the 3 from 22

BC=19

You can check your work by doing AB+BC=AC

11+19=30        substitute your answers and then add them together

30=30

This figure shows circle O with inscribed ∠XYZ. m∠XYZ=76∘ What is the measure of XYZ?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

152

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the measure of angle XYZ is 76 degrees, we know that the measure of XYZ would be twice the amount of the angle measurement due to the square root theorem.  In this case 76 times 2 or 76 plus 76 equals 152 degrees.  152 degrees is your final answer.

What is the lie fact about sociology​
shutvik [7]

Answer: Social science or sociology is considered as science but it is a pseudoscience.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sociology is considered as science as the study of social class, ethnicity, and religion abide by people of the society. Like, other factual sciences like chemistry, biology, and physics the facts cannot be rectified or verified by experimental trials. Instead, it is based on assumption and day to day experience with surrounding social environment. Thus, we can say that sociology is a science is a lie.

What is the equation of a line perpendicular to:
Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

"perpendicular" means it creates a right angle (90°) with the original line.

a key element is the slope (the incline) of the line.

it is the factor of x (here 1/4 for the original line) and is defined as the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.

the given slope of 1/4 means that for every increase in x by 4 units y increases by 1 unit.

now if you want to draw a few random lines, and then draw lines that cross them with a right angle, you will see very quickly the relationship of the slopes of the crossing lines :

for the slope of the perpendicular line x and y of the original slope trade places (the ratio turns "upside-down") and the sign of the slope flips (if the original line goes up, then the perpendicular line goes down and vice versa. so + turns into -, and - into +).

so, our original slope 1/4 turns into -4/1 = -4.

we still have infinite possibilities to draw such a perpendicular line (more up or more down on the coordinate grid).

to finally "nail" one particular line we need to use the given point and solve for the y-intercept.

the general slope-intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, using the slope (-4) and the point (2, 5) we have

5 = -4×2 + b = -8 + b

13 = b

so, the full equation is

y = -4x + 13
