Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 17 = 42
5x = 25
x = 5
Answer:
a < - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 2a > 6
Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity, thus
a < - 3
If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC.
We have AB = x + 5 and BC = 2x - 11.
Therefore we have the equation:
x + 5 = 2x - 11 <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>
x = 2x - 16 <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>
-x = -16 <em>change the signs</em>
x = 16
Put the value of x to the expression x + 5:
AB = 16 + 5 = 21
<h3>Answer: AB = 21</h3>
