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

Explain why a quadratic equation with a positive discriminant has two real solutions, a quadratic equation with a negative discr
Bad White [126]

Answer:

A quadratic equation can be written as:

a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0.

where a, b and c are real numbers.

The solutions of this equation can be found by the equation:

x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}

Where the determinant is D = b^2 - 4*a*c.

Now, if D>0

we have the square root of a positive number, which will be equal to a real number.

√D = R

then the solutions are:

x = \frac{-b +- R }{2*a}

Where each sign of R is a different solution for the equation.

If D< 0, we have the square root of a negative number, then we have a complex component:

√D = i*R

x = \frac{-b +- C*i }{2*a}

We have two complex solutions.

If D = 0

√0 = 0

then:

x = \frac{-b +- 0}{2*a} = \frac{-b}{2a}

We have only one real solution (or two equal solutions, depending on how you see it)

Solve for x in the diagram below (picture included)
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the straight line is equal to 180°, and the three angles that make it are (x+12),100°, and x. We can use the equation 180=(x+12)+100+x to find x.

180=(x+12)+100+x

We can remove the parentheses and combine x plus x to 2x.

180=100+2x+12

100+12=112

so

180=112+2x

-112 -112

68=2x

÷2 ÷2

34=x
