Answer: x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that line segment AC= AB + BC
we also know that AB= 3x+8 and BC= 2x-5
by substituting these, we get AC= (3x+8)+(2x-5)
AC is given as being 23, so we know that
23= (3x+8)+(2x-5)
by combining like terms, we get that
5x+3=23
simplify this to get that x=4
Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: equation: y=-4x+1
slope: -4
y intercept:1
This the only option to find x since doing the other way like 3x + 2 = 3x + 2 gives it an infinite solution.
4x - 1 = 3x + 2
-3x -3x
1x - 1 = 2
+1 +1
1x = 3

1 1
x = 3
Check:
4(3) - 1 = 3(3) + 2
12 - 1 = 9 + 2
11 = 11
