Answer:
BC = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
since B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC
AC = 8x - 20 & AB = 3x - 1
AC = AB + BC or 2AB
8x - 20 = 2(3x - 1)
8x - 20 = 6x - 2
subtract 6x form each side
2x - 20 = -2
add 20 to each side
2x - 20 + 20 = -2 + 20
2x = 18
x = 9
BC = 3x - 1
BC = 27 - 1
BC = 26
AC = 52
The answer is 6 inches, 3*3*3 equals 27, the current volume of the cube, 27*8 equals 216, the new volume, 6*6*6 equals 216, so the side lengths equal 6 inches.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Write down the problem;

Simplify

Convert so that the fractions have a common denominator; multiply the numerator and denominator of both fractions such that the denominators are equal;

Add the fractions;

Convert to mixed number;

If half the sum of the bases is multiplied by the height, then that is the area of the trapezoid.
I believe this is the correct wording.
I am pretty sure these statements are created by taking the last part of the statement and pairing it with the “if” and the first part of the statement and pairing it with a “then” to make a complete statement.
I hope this helps! :)
Answer: a = 
We want to isolate a. Add both sides by 2. Then we get u + 2 = 2a. To get just a, we can divide by 2 to get (u+2)/2.
