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

Please help it’s very urgent and I need the right answer
8090 [49]

Answer:

3x + 15 = 3*10 + 15 = 30 + 15 = 45

<u>3x + 15 = 45</u>

Now,

2x + 25 = 2*10 + 25 = 20 + 25 = 45

<u>2x + 25 = 45</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 15 + 2x + 25 = 90

or, 5x + 40 = 90

or, 5x = 90 - 40

so, 5x = 50

so, x = 50/5 = 10
