Find the measure of AB if B is the midpoint of AC and AB = 2x - 4 and AC = 28

Answer:

AB=14

Step-by-step explanation:

First you write the equation 2(2x-4)=28 because if b is the midpoint then AB is half of the line so you multiply that half by two the make it equal to the whole line.

Then you distribute the two and get 4x-8=28.

Then you add 8 to 28 and get 36.

Then you divide 36 by 4 because the 4 and x are being multiplied together so you have to divide to get them apart.

So then you get x=9 and you aren't done yet because you have to plug x into 2x-4.

So it is 2(9)-4 which is 18-4 which equals 14.

If CE= 7x+4 <br><br> x+3 + 8x-9 = 7x+4
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The answer is 39.

Explanation:
To find the x, you need to start by adding your “like” terms on each side of the equal sign. This means the parts that you can add together. So, on the left side, you would add 3 and -9 together, which will make -6. Then, you would add x and 8x together, which would make 9x. So your left side will look like “9x-6”. There is nothing you can add together on the right side, so now you move on to the second step: combining the terms on both sides. You can do this by knowing that the opposite of subtraction is addition, and it’s the same the other way. Let’s look at our equation now:
9x-6=7x+4

9x and 7x are “like terms” so we can subtract. So now we have:
2x-6=4

We still need to make x be by itself, so now we can move the -6 over to the 4. We add because the opposite of subtraction is addition. So now we have:
2x=10

When a number is next to a missing number, that means they are being multiplied, and the opposite of multiplication is division. So we can divide 10 by 2, which equals five. So, x=5 and we can add that to our other missing number, CE. Replace “x” with “5” and you will see that CE=39.
