Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

Find: Length of segment BC

CD+DB=BC

3x+8+4x+10=BC

7x+18=BC

BC also equals 8x (given on the screen shot)

7x+18= 8x

x=18

18 times 8 = 144

Check:

3( 18) + 8 + 4(18) + 10

54+8 + 72+10

64+ 80= 144 TRUE

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are proportional.

(3x +1)/10 = (7x -1)/22

11(3x +1) = 5(7x -1) . . . . . . multiply by 110

33x + 11 = 35x -5 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-33x to both sides

8 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
