Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A midpoint of a line means that each segment connecting from the midpoint to an end is equal. For this problem, this means that AB = BC, as B is the midpoint, and A and B are the ends. Therefore, we can say that:

AB = BC

2x + 6 = 5x - 3

add 3 to both sides

2x + 9 = 5x

subtract 2x from both sides

9 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

3 = x

Plugging 3=x into AB, this means that 2(3) + 6 = AB = 12

Can you construct a triangle that has side lengths 2 yd, 9 yd, and 10 yd?

yan [13]

Yes

The rule to check if a triplet of numbers can represent the sides of a triangle is the following: the sum of the length of two sides must exceed the third one.

This happens for all possible couples in your case:

$2+9=11>10$

$2+10=12>9$

$9+10=19>2$

A bus as speed of 20m/s begin to slow at constant acceleration of 8.00m/s2 along a straight line find the average speed for the

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

-20 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the average speed is shown below:

Given that

The initial velocity of the bus, u = 20 m/s

Aceleration of the bus, -a = 8 m/s²

time of motion, t = 5 s

Now The final velocity of the bus is

v = u + at

v = 20 + (-8 × 5)

v = 20 - 40

v = -20 m/s.
