Answer: Olga's solution is incorrect
x + 7x is the same as 1x + 7x
7x2 is the same as 7x. x
x + 7 x simplifies to 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The length of the line segment AC is equal to 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle above is an isosceles triangle, In an Isosceles triangle the two angles; B and C are the same, hence the two sides; AB and AC are also the same.
AB=2x and AC= 3x - 7
AB = AC
which implies;
2x = 3x - 7
subtract 3x from both-side of the equation
2x - 3x = 3x -3x -7
-x = -7
Multiply through by -1
x = 7
But we were ask to find the the length of the line segment AC
AC = 3x - 7
substituting x = 7 into the above equation will yield;
AC = 3(7) - 7 = 21 - 7 =14
Therefore the length of the line segment AC is equal to 14
