<u>Answer:</u>
- The length of BC is 25 units.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>We know that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. Hence, we know that AB = AC. Let's first solve for x.</u>
- => 4x + 1 = 2x + 23
- => 4x - 2x = -1 + 23
- => 2x = 22
- => <u>x = 11</u>
<u>Now, let's substitute the value into the expression.</u>
- => 3x - 8
- => 3(11) - 8
- => 33 - 8
- => <u>25</u>
<u>Hence,</u><u> the length of BC is 25 units.</u>
Hoped this helped.

x=5/2, 9
Step-by-step explanation:
It will take 2 hours for 16 people to clear an acre of weeds, and 8 hours for 2 people to clear an acre of weeds.
The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...
... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.
Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...
... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.

Alternate solutions
We have computed ...
... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200
Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:
... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000
... = 24000/20 = 1200
or
... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200
