Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:

x + 4 = ± 2
x = -2
x = -6
40 Why? 80%x X=50 or 80/100x X=50
Answer:
X = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what I am picturing (not to scale)
A ----------------B-----------C
We are given the information of AB (which equals 3x + 1), BC (which equals 4x - 5), and AC (which equals 8x - 9).
With reference to the line, AB + BC = AC
So,
3x + 1 + 4x - 5 = 8x - 9
7x - 4 = 8x - 9
5 = x
3 over 2 and 3 over 4 (1.5 and .75)
