Point B is located between points A and C, AB= X^2-10, BC= 2X +2 and AC= 16 ,solve for X

1 answer:

7 0

Drawing a picture would be helpful.
So you have AB and BC, and AC is ALL of AB and BC. In other words,
AC = AB+BC.
Now plug in what the problem gave you.
(16) = (x^2 -10) + (2x + 2)
16 = x^2 + 2x - 8
0 = x^2 + 2x -24
0 = (x+6)(x-4)
x = -6, 4

Your Turn: Using the figure, a

Hatshy [7]

We are given:
$\frac{a}{c} = \frac{d}{a}$

First step is to get rid of fractions. We start by multiplying both sides by a.
$\frac{a}{c} = \frac{d}{a} /*a \\$

Now we cancel a on right side and we multiply both sides by c.
$\frac{ a^{2}}{c} = \frac{da}{a} /*c \\ \frac{ a^{2}c}{c} = dc$

After canceling c on the right side we are left with:
$a^{2} = dc or a^{2} = cd$
