Mathematics

6 0

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

Which equation has infinite solutions?
AnnyKZ [126]

The equation that has an infinite number of solutions is 2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

An equation that has an infinite number of solutions would be in the form

a = a

This means that both sides of the equation would be the same

Start by simplifying the options

3(x – 1) = x + 2(x + 1) + 1

3x - 3 = x + 3x + 2 + 1

3x - 3 = 4x + 3

Evaluate

x = 6 ----- one solution

x – 4(x + 1) = –3(x + 1) + 1

x - 4x - 4 = -3x - 3 + 1

-3x - 4 = -3x - 2

-4 = -2 ---- no solution

2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2

2x + 3 = 2x + 1 + 2

2x + 3 = 2x + 3

Subtract 2x

3 = 3 ---- infinite solution

Hence, the equation that has an infinite number of solutions is 2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2

Which equation has infinite solutions?

3(x – 1) = x + 2(x + 1) + 1

x – 4(x + 1) = –3(x + 1) + 1

2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2

\frac 13(6x - 3) = 3(x + 1) - x - 2

Find the measure of c. A. 40 B. 70 C. 90 D. 50
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

D. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 90° (angle subtended in semicircle)

a + c + 40° = 180° (by angle sum postulate of a triangle)

90° + c + 40° = 180°

c + 130° = 180°

c = 180° - 130°

c = 50°

A convex hexagon has exterior angles of 39°, 47°, 42°, 59°, and 64°. What is the measure of an exterior angle at the
meriva

Answer: 109^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angles of a polygon add to 360 degrees, so the sixth angle measures 360-39-47-42-59-64=\boxed{109^{\circ}}
