Answer:

30

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

#2

Coordinate = -3 + 8 = 5

Answer:

  1. BC = 30
  2. 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!

8(x + 5) = 56

first step id to distribute the 8 through the parenthesis

8x + 40 = 56

Multiple choice question please answer it for me
timofeeve [1]
The answer is the second choice, or B; 240 ft^2.

You have to find the area of all four triangles and just add those all together. 

Two of the triangles have an area of 
5*16=80
Multiply that by two
80*2=160

The other two smaller triangles have an area of 
8*5=40
Multiply that by 2 also
40*2=80

Add 160+80 and the answer is 240.

In a city, 60% of the residents live in houses and 40% of the residents live in apartments. Of the people who live in houses, 20
Step2247 [10]
75%; so if we say there are 100 people in this city that means 60 of them live in houses and 40 of them live in apartments. Of the 60 living in houses 20% of them (12% of total population; 60 x .20) own their own business and those in apartments (40) 10% of them (4% of total pop.; 40 x .10) have their own business. In total 16 of the 100 people have businesses and 12 of those people live in houses so 12/16 equals .75. We multiply this by 100 to get the percent so there’s 75% that a person who owns a business in this city will also live in a house.
