Answer:

BC = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B, then from B to C, is the same distance as from A to C.

Thus,

AB + BC = AC

AB = 8x + 8

BC = 4x + 2

AC = 22

AB + BC = AC

(8x + 8) + (4x + 2) = 22

Expanding the parenthesis:

8x + 8 + 4x + 2 = 22

8x + 4x + 8 + 2 = 22

12x + 12 = 22

Subtracting 12 from both sides:

12x = 10

Dividing both sides by 12:

x = 10/12 = 1.2

x = 1.2

We're looking for BC. As we know,

BC = 4x + 2

Let's now put in x = 1.2 into this equation:

BC = 4x + 2

BC = 4 * 1.2 + 2

Since 4 * 1.2 is 4.8:

BC = 4.8 + 2

BC = 6.8

Answer: BC = 6.8

Solve for k.<br> 6k - 8 = 4K + 15

Brut [27]

Hi,

Answer:

k = $\frac{23}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4k from both sides

6k - 4k = 2k

2k - 8 = 15

Add 8 on both sides (you want to get rid of the 8 in order to leave the k alone)

2k = 23

k = 23/2

Have a good day!

Answer:

C) 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is shown in the attachment.

Using the Pythagoras Theorem,

$x^2=4^2+4^2$

$x^2=16+16$

$x^2=32$

We take positive square root to obtain

$x=\sqrt{32}$

$x=4\sqrt{2}$

x=5.66ft

Rounding to the nearest feet we have x=6ft
