Points A, B, and C are collinear and B lies between A and C. If AC = 48, AB = 2x + 2, and BC = 3x + 6, what is BC?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

48 = 2x + 2 + 3x + 6

48 = 5x + 8

48 - 8 = 5x

40 = 5x

40/5 = x

8 = x

Finding BC

BC = 3x + 6

BC = 3(8) + 6

BC = 24 + 6

BC = 30

Coordinate = -3 + 8 = 5

Answer:

BC = 30
5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that adding AB and BC will give us AC so we can create an equation and solve for x.

2x + 2 + 3x + 6 = 48

~Combine like terms

5x + 8 = 48

~Subtract 8 to both sides

5x = 40

~Divide 5 to both sides

x = 8

Now that we know the value of x, we can solve for BC.

= 3(8) + 6

= 24 + 6

= 30

I would assume 8 is the length of EG so we would add that value to -3 and find where that would be at on the number.

-3 + 8 = 5

Best of Luck!

The first discount on a camera was 18%. The second discount was 20%. After these two discounts the price was $328. What was the

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price of the camera through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities.

<u>Second Discount</u>

20% off means we paid 80%. We know we paid $328 of some price.

$\frac{80}{100} =\frac{328}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$80y=100(328)\\80y=32800$

I now solve for y by dividing by 80.

$\frac{80y}{80} =\frac{32800}{80} \\y= $410$

The price after the first discount was $410.

<u>First Discount</u>

We will repeat the steps above with $410. 18% off means we paid 82%.

$\frac{82}{100} =\frac{410}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$82y=100(410)\\82y=41000$

I now solve for y by dividing by 82.

$\frac{82y}{82} =\frac{41000}{82} \\y= $500$

The original price was $500.
