Answer:

44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the mid-point of AC

AB=BC

or,4x+14=x+20

or, 4x-x=20-14

or 3x=6

or,x=6/3=2

AC=AB+BC

= 4x+14+x+20

= 4(2) + 14 +2 +20

= 8+14+22

=44 units

Answer:

44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that B is the midpoint of AC, so by definition, AB = BC. Thus, set the two expressions equal and solve for x:

AB = BC

4x + 14 = x + 20

3x = 6

x = 2

Given that x = 2, plug this into the expression for AB and BC and add them to get AC:

AC = AB + BC = 4 * 2 + 14 + 2 + 20 = 44

Hence, AC is 44 units.

Hope this helps!

What is the value of 4r^2-8 when r=3?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

So this means to replace the r you see in 4r^2-8 with 3.

Let's do that:

4(3)^2-8

Now to simplify this just use pemdas or a calculator:

4(9)-8     since 3^2 means 3*3=9

36-8
