If A, B and C are collinear, then:

AB+BC=AC\\\\AB=x+4,\ BC=2x-10,\ AC=2x+1

substitute:

(x+4)+(2x-10)=2x+1\\\\(x+2x)+(4-10)=2x+1\\\\3x-6=2x+1\ \ \ |+6\\\\3x=2x+7\ \ \ \ |-2x\\\\x=7\\\\AB=x+4\to AB=7+4=11\\\\BC=2x-10\to BC=2(7)-10=14-10=4\\\\AC=AB+BC\to AC=11+4=15

I need the answer to this
garri49 [273]
For both of the contests, the variable is the number of competitors which we can set as x.
Consequently, the equation should be 5.50x+34.60=4.25x+64.60

5.50x=4.25x+30

1.25x=30

x=24

The fee of the contests is the same when there are 24 competitors

Plss help me do this o-o
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

x=\sqrt6\\y=\sqrt{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since angles in a triangle add up to 180º, the remaining angle must be 45º.

So the side with length x must be equal to the side with length \sqrt6. That is:

x=\sqrt6

Now, by Pythagoras:

y=\sqrt{(\sqrt6)^2+(\sqrt6)^2}\\=\sqrt{6+6}\\=\sqrt{12}
