ANSWER

BC=17 units

EXPLANATION

The given triangle is an isosceles triangle.

We have

AC=AB

This implies that,

x + 9 = 2x - 8

Group similar terms and simplify to get:

2x - x = 9 + 8

x = 17

Side BC is x units. But x=17

Therefore BC is 17 units.

How do linear and exponential functions compare over time?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Exponential Functions

In linear functions, rate of change is constant: as x goes up, y will go up a consistent amount. In exponential functions, the rate of change increases by a consistent multiplier—it will never be the same, but there will be a pattern.

Please help me solve this equation
elena-s [515]

Answer:

m<U = 38degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, <B = <U since both triangles are similar, hence;

Hence;

2y+2 = 3y-16

2y - 3y = -16 - 2

-y = -18

y = 18

Get m<U

m<U = 3y-16

m<U = 3(18) -16

m<U = 54 - 16

m<U = 38degrees
