Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

determine the numerical length of AC

We know that Ac is equaled to ab and bc because they are the segements between ac  

                3x                                4x+8

A-----------------------------B----------------------------------C

|<----------------------------5x+10 --------------------------->|

AB + BC = AC

solving for x

3x + 4X + 8 = 5X + 10

3x+4x-5x= 10-8

2x=2

x=1

Now sub that in for ac

AC= 5x +10

AC= 5(1) +10

AC= 5 +10

AC = 15

Compound Inequalities <br> (Help)

- 8x + 44 ≥ 60
- 8x ≥ 60 - 44
- 8x ≥ 16
x ≤ - 2

- 4x + 50 < 58
- 4x < 58 - 50
- 4x < 8
x > - 2

Now put the two together. Logically, these two answers since a number cannot be both less than AND greater than - 2. 

Your answer should be no solution.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

8 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be l and s.

We have equations:

l = 5s + 18

3l + 4s = 16

Solve for s by substituting l into the second equation:

3(5s + 18) + 4s = 16

15s + 54 + 4s = 16

19s = 16 - 54

19s = -38

s = -38/19

s = -2

Find the value of l:

l = 5(-2) + 18

l = -10 + 18

l = 8
