If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides by 2 to get just m
You can't divide a fraction by a number so you do kcf (keep it, change it, flip it)
You would isolate the variable for ex
2x+3=9
2x=9-3
2x=6
x=3
30 * 0.30 = 9
30 + 9 = 39
30 increased by 30% = 39
4(x+8)
because 4 is the greatest common factor of 4 and 32. you distribute the 4 into the parenthesis and get 4x+32
