B is the midpoint of AC, AB = 3x - 8 and BC = x + 4. Find AB

1 answer:

8 0

Since b is the midpoint BC is half the line so we can set up this equation

x+4+X+4=3x-8

and then solve like normal

2x+8=3x-8

16=x

once you have x then solve x+4

16 + 4 =20

AB is 20

Factor completely 3x2 − 11x 8. (x 4)(3x − 2) (x − 2)(3x − 4) (x 1)(3x − 8) (x − 1)(3x − 8).

earnstyle [38]

The factors of the equation $3x^{2} -11x+8$ will be $(3x-8)(x-1)$

<h3>What will be the factors of the given equation?</h3>

When we split the equation into two groups we will get

$3x^{2} -3x-8x+8$

$3x(x-1)-8(x-1)$

Now taking (x-1) common

$(3x-8)(x-1)$

Thus the factors of the equation $3x^{2} -11x+8$ will be $(3x-8)(x-1)$

The sum of three numbers is 85. The second is 7 more than the first. The third is 2 more than four times the second. Find the nu

9966 [12]

Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number
CK
8+15+62=85
85=85
