Answer:
x = 12/13
BC = 140/13
Step-by-step explanation:
If A is the mipoint of BC, then AB is half of BC.
AB = BC / 2
8x − 2 = (3x + 8) / 2
16x − 4 = 3x + 8
13x = 12
x = 12/13
BC = 3x + 8
BC = 3 (12/13) + 8
BC = 36/13 + 104/13
BC = 140/13
X=dimes y=quarters
0.1x + 0.25y = 2.95
x+y = 16
from the second equation, x = 16 - y and thus 0.1 (16-y) +0.25y = 2.95 ==> y=9. Finally, x + 9 = 16 ==> x=7
7 dimes, 9 quarters
