Answer:

B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The Segment Addition Postulate basically states that the sum of the segments of a line will equal the length of the entire line.

Thus, AB+BC=AC, and we can substitute:

AB+BC=AC

(4x+8)+(3x-4)=32

4x+8+3x-4=32

7x+4=32

7x=28

x=4

Now that we have x, we can plug it in for segment BC:

BC=3x-4

3(4)-4

12-4

Therefore, choice B is correct

Answer:

BC = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC

4x + 8 + 3x - 4 = 32

7x + 4 = 32

7x = 32 - 4

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

BC = 3x - 4 = 3*4 - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8

a train travels 288km at a uniform speed.if the speed has been 4km per hour more it would have taken one hour less for the same

Lostsunrise [7]

Given:

A train travels 288 km at a uniform speed.

If the speed has been 4 km per hour more it would have taken one hour less for the same journey.

To find:

The initial speed of the train.

Solution:

Let x km/h be the initial speed on the train.

New speed of train = (x+4) km/h

We know that,

$Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}$

Time taken by the train initially to cover 288 km is $\dfrac{288}{x}$ hours.

New time taken by the train to cover 288 km is $\dfrac{288}{x+4}$ hours.

It is given that If the speed has been 4 km per hour more it would have taken one hour less for the same journey.

$\dfrac{288}{x}-\dfrac{288}{x+4}=1$

$\dfrac{288(x+4)-288x}{x(x+4)}=1$

$288x+1152-288x=x^2+4x$

$1152=x^2+4x$

$0=x^2+4x-1152$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2+36x-32x-1152=0$

$x(x+36)-32(x+36)=0$

$(x+36)(x-32)=0$

$x=-36,32$

We know that the speed cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 32.

Therefore, the speed of the train is 32 km/h.

Which of the following sets of transformation provides sufficient information to prove the two circles described are similar?

Reika [66]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

A circle is simply a curve made up of all the points that are the same distance from the center. This distance is called the radius of the circle. It's important to know that <em>all circles are similar to each other</em>, but what is similarity? It's simply, shapes are similar if we can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling. So every circle can match any other circle by moving it, rotating it, flipping it, or scaling it.

Then circles O and Q shown below are similar no matter what's the radii of them.
