Answer:

BC = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

since B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC

AC = 8x - 20 & AB = 3x - 1

AC = AB + BC or 2AB

8x - 20 = 2(3x - 1)

8x - 20 = 6x - 2

subtract 6x form each side

2x - 20 = -2

add 20 to each side

2x - 20 + 20 = -2 + 20

2x = 18

x = 9

BC = 3x - 1

BC = 27 - 1

BC = 26

AC = 52

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{k^2-2k}=1-\frac{1}{k^2-2k}$

multiply by $\frac{k^2-2k}{1}$ on each side

$2=k^2-2k-1$

add 1 on both sides $3=k^2-2k$

make it equal 0

$0=k^2-2k-3$

Factor

$(k-3)(k+1)$

answer is 3 and -1

$35,125 loan, a feat which took ten years of quarterly payments. The loan had an interest rate of 7.44%, compounded quarterly. I

Darya [45]

First find the amount of each payment:
$35,125 = P(\frac{(1+i)^{40} -1}{i (1+i)^{40}}) , i = \frac{.0744}{4} \\ \\ P = 1252.70$

The total cost will be 40 payments plus service charges.
$40*1252.70 + 5180.70 = 55,288.90$

The percentage is the service charge divided by total cost:
$X = \frac{5180.70}{ 55,288.90} = .0937 = 9.37\%$
