Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find AB.
They give the equation for AB, BC, and AC
AC - BC = AB
substitute the equations
(30) - (8x + 3) = 6x + 8
30 - 8x - 3 = 6x + 8
27 - 8x = 6x + 8
+8x +8x
27 = 14x + 8
-8 -8
19 = 14x
19/14 = 14x/14
1.3571428 = x
0.1 = tenth
1.4 = x
Substitute x into the equation for AB
6(1.4) + 8
16.4
Answer:
S = 13 - x
T = (18 + x) / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
S = 18
T= 18
Sue gives away x, so subtract it from 18. But Tony gets x, so add it to 18 in his expression.
S = 18 - x
T= 18 + x
Sue eats 5 so subtract 5 from her expression. Tony eats half, so divide his expression by 2.
S = 18 - x - 5
T = 18 + x / 2
Simplify 18-5.
S = 13 - x
T = (18 + x) / 2
Let's check
3m - 9 = 9+3m
collect like terms
3m -3m = 9 + 9
0m = 18
which is not possible, so it will not have any solutions
1/2
Divide each number by 30
