Answer:

x = 10
AB = 3
BC = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

If B lies between A and C on a line segment, then ...

AB +BC = AC

(2x -17) +(x +1) = 14

3x = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, collect terms

x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

AB = 2(10)-17 = 3

BC = 10+1 = 11

leva [86]

Answer:

y + 9 = 1/5(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Substitute the values into the equation.

y - (-9) = 1/5(x - (-8)

y + 9 = 1/5(x + 8)

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{5}{4},\ y=\dfrac{15}{16}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}y=\dfrac{3}{4}x&(1)\\\dfrac{5}{2}x+2y=5&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute}\ (1)\ \text{to}\ (2):\\\\\dfrac{5}{2}x+2\left(\dfrac{3}{4}x\right)=5\\\\\dfrac{5}{2}x+\dfrac{3}{2}x=5\\\\\dfrac{5+3}{2}x=5\\\\\dfrac{8}{2}x=5\\\\4x=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{4}$
