Answer:

  • 21 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Since B is the midpoint, we have:</u>

  • AB = BC = AC/2

<u>Substitute and solve for x:</u>

  • x + 5 = (3x - 6)/2
  • 3x  - 6 = 2x + 10
  • 3x - 2x = 10 + 6
  • x = 16

<u>Find BC:</u>

  • BC = AB = 16 + 5 = 21

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that at AB is halfway across our line. We see that AC is the total line.

So, to find the other half, we have to subtract AB from AC, which will give us the value of BC.

We first will subtract our x values.

3x-x=2x

And then we subtract our numbers.

-6-5=-11

So, BC is 2x-11.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Faron wants to paint the four walls in his bedroom. The room measures 12 ft long, 10 ft wide and 8 ft high. There are two doors
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

319 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The walls of the room (the ones on the long side) have an area of 12 x 8 = 96 square feet each one. Thus, their area is 96 x 2= 192 square feet.

The other two walls have an area of 10 x 8 = 80 square feet each one. Thus, their area combined is 80 x 2 = 160 square feet.

Therefore, we have that the total area of the four walls is

192 +160 = 352 square feet

However, we have a door and a window that won't be painted.

The area of the door is: 3 x 7 =21 square feet

The area of the window is 3 x 4 = 12 square feet

Thus, the total amount of area that won't be painted is

21 + 12 = 33 square feet.

So we are going to take the total area minus the area that won't be painted to know the total area that Faron will pain:

352 - 33 = 319 square feet.

Thus, she will paint 319 square feet
