Answer:
1600
Step-by-step explanation:
1.25x + 1000 = 3000
Subtract 1000 from both sides
1.25x = 2000
Divide both sides by 1.25
x = 1600
BC = 18
AB = AC, hence
8x - 4 = 5x + 11 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
3x - 4 = 11 ( add 4 to both sides )
3x = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 5
BC = 4x - 2 = (4 × 5 ) - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18
The answer is -7.137x10^-3
