Hi! for x, you need to do 2x-8 = x+17 and solve, because since b is the midpoint, ab and bc would be congruent.
2x-8 = x+17
1x-8 = 17
1x = 25
x = 25
in order to find ab, you plug in the x into the expression.
ab = 2x-8
ab = 2(25)-8
ab = 42
do the same for bc:
bc = x + 17
bc = 25 + 17
bc = 42
and for ac, combine the two expressions and plug in the value for x.
ac = ab + bc
ac = 2x-8 + x+17
ac = 2(25)-8 + 25+17
ac = 84
i hope this helped! have a good day/night :)
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
I did order of operations, GEMA OR PEMDAS, etc.
Answer:
n < 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the bracket first (9-18n)
add the n together (-15n)
add the 9 and the -96 together (-105)
Divide 105 and 15n (7)
n < 7
Have a good day :)
1/2x + 42 = 4x
-1/2x -1/2x
------------------------
42 = 3.5x
/3.5 /3.5
------------------------
12 = x
the number is 12
explanation: 42 more than 1/2 of a number can be written as 1/2x + 42
four times a number can be written as 4x.
42 more than 1/2 of a number is equal to 4 times a number. So 1/2x + 42 = 4x.
Hope this helps :)
