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!

What is the square root of 12
Viktor [21]
12 is not a perfect square, but 4, a factor of 12, is a perfect square.  Thus, separate the problem

sqrt(12) into factors as follows:

sqrt(12) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(2)    = 2*sqrt(2)  (answer)

Nadine wants to convince her school to provide the students with an extra playground.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The school would have to give $300 and each side would be 100cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x - 8)cm = Side length

Solve for X

3(4x - 8) = 300

(Getting rid of the three)

(12x -24) = 300  

(Getting rid of the 24)

(12x) = 324

(Getting rid of the 12)

(12x/12) = 324/12

X = 27

27 x 4

Side length = (108 - 8)

108 - 8 = 100cm

100 x 3 = 300cm (1cm = $1)

$300

Each Side would be 100cm

Find x (4,12), (x,18); slope=3
vodomira [7]

(y - yo) = m.(x - xo)

We have the points (4, 12) and (x, 18) with slope of 3.

(18 - 12) = 3.(x - 4)

6 = 3x - 12

3x = 6 + 12

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6
