If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC.

We have AB = x + 5 and BC = 2x - 11.

Therefore we have the equation:

x + 5 = 2x - 11 <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>

x = 2x - 16 <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>

-x = -16 <em>change the signs</em>

x = 16

Put the value of x to the expression x + 5:

AB = 16 + 5 = 21

<h3>Answer: AB = 21</h3>

I WILL MARK FIRST BRAINLIEST! I leave a thanks too! 0 = -2x^2 - 7x -1 Solve using quadratic formula PLEASEEEEEE I need the answe

slamgirl [31]

Here,

2x^2 + 7x + 1 = 0

given,

a = 2

b = 7

and c = 1

From formula,

x = (-b+-√b^2-4ac) / 2a.

We get,

x = -7/4 ± √(41)/4 Ans.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One pound (lb) is equal to 16 (oz). So, if you are trying to find how many ounces are in one pound, you have to divide the number of pounds by the 16, the amount of ounces in one pound.

Is this equation a linear relation, and please solve the equation?<br> -3x + 2y = 1

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a linear equation and the gradient equation is given as:

y=mx+c

Where m is the gradient and c is the y intercept

-3x+2y=1

2y=1+3x

Dividing all through by 2

y=1/2 + 3x/2

Therefore the gradient of this linear equation is 3/2 and the y intercept is 1/2
