Look at the picture.

1)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y
|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|
2)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y

|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|

Hello ! (<span>I attached a picture of the drawing)</span>

<span>First, we draw a line with 3 points B,A,C in this order.Then </span><span>we will note the middle of AB with M and also the middle of AC with N.
</span>
<span></span><span>We can notice that BC = AB + AC
</span>
<span>M - the middle of AB ⇒ AM=MB=AB/2</span>
<span>N - the middle of AC ⇒ AN=NC=AC/2
</span>

<span>We can write MN as AM+AN , which means AB/2 + AC/2 . We can also write AB as BC-AC , so we will have :
</span>
<span>MN = AB/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = (BC-AC)/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = BC/2 - AC/2 + AC/2 ( AC/2 with -AC/2 are reduced)</span>
MN = BC/2    or    BC = 2·MN

A new car's original price is $13,999. If it's on sale<br> for 10% off, what's the new price?
blsea [12.9K]
To find new price after discount we are going to find 10% of $13,999.00, then subtract the discount amount from $13,999.00.

13,999.00 × ¹⁰/₁₀₀ = $1,399.90

13,999.00 - 1,399.90 = $12,599.10

Therefore, new price = $12,599.10
