J. -8 is the correct answer
If you change to feet then you have 6 feet divide that by 5 and you have each piece is 1.2 feet long.
Answer:
BC = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ∠ A = ∠ C then the triangle is isosceles with AB = BC, that is
3x + 14 = x + 20 ( subtract x from both sides )
2x + 14 = 20 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
Thus
BC = 3x + 14 = 3(3) + 14 = 9 + 14 = 23
