Applying the segment addition postulate:
x = 2.75
AB = 6x = 6(2.75) = 16.5 units
BC = 8x + 1/4 = 8(2.75) + 1/4 = 22.25 units.
<h3>What is the Segment Addition Postulate?</h3>
Based on the segment addition postulate, since B lies between points A and C on a line segment, then:
AB + BC = AC
AC = 38 3/4
AB = 6x
BC = 8x + 1/4
Substitute
6x + 8x + 1/4 = 38 3/4 [segment addition postulate]
14x + 1/4 = 155/4
14x = 155/4 - 1/4
14x = (155 - 1)/4
14x = 154/4
14x × 4 = 154
56x = 154
x = 154/56
x = 2.75
AB = 6x = 6(2.75) = 16.5 units
BC = 8x + 1/4 = 8(2.75) + 1/4 = 22.25 units.

What don’t you understand
x^2 + 10x = - 5
To complete the square, we need to add a constant on the
left side that makes the expression on the right a perfect square trinomial. We
need to add the same value on the right side to keep the equation equal. So,
x^2 + 10x + a = -5 + a
where a is the square of one-half the coefficient of x, therefore:
a = (10 / 2)^2 = 25
x^2 + 10x + 25 = -5 + 25
(x + 5)^2 = 20
Taking the square root of both sides:
x + 5 = ± 4.47
x = -5 ± 4.47
<span>x = -9.47, -0.53</span>
Answer:
y = 3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters;
Coordinates of the line;
(-2, -3)
Slope of the line = 3
Unknown:
Equation of the line = ?
Solution:
The equation of any straight line is often expressed as;
y = mx + c
y and x are the coordinates
c is the intercept
Now insert values of y, x and m to find c;
-3 = 3(-2) + c
-3 = -6 + c
c = -3 + 6 = 3
The equation of the line is;
y = 3x + 3
You will use the formula A=lw to find the area. Substitute 2x^3 in for the length and 4x^2 for the width. You would multiply both of these. 2×4 = 8, and x cubed times x squared equals X to the fifth power. You will add the exponents together because the exponent tells you how many times to multiply that value. If there are three x multiplied together (in x cubes) and two x multiplied together(in x squared) that makes five x multiplied together. The answer is represented as A=8x^5. ^ means to the power of.
