If B is the midpoint of AC, AB = 8x + 2 and BC = 5x + 14, then what is the length of AB?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of AB: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

What are we given?

B = Midpoint of AC

AB = 8x + 2

BC = 5x + 14

|--------------|--------------|

A               B               C

(This is what your line would look like)

Our equation would be:

AB + BC = AC

(8x + 2) = (5x + 14)

(AB)      =        (BC)

(Assuming that our line and points are evenly spread out, we can say that they can equal each other)

8x + 2 = 5x  +14

- 5x- 2 = -5x -2

---------------------

3x = 12

[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12}{3}[/tex]

---------------------

x = 4

1) Substitute

(8x + 2) + (5x + 14) = AC

    (AB) + ( BC)       = AC

AB = 8(4) + 2

32 + 2

= 34

BC = 5(4) + 14 =

20 + 14

= 34

(We may be able to assume that since the length of the line is possible the same for AB and BC this is considered correct)

Answer 2

The length of the line segment AB is 34 units.

Given that, B is the midpoint of AC, AB = 8x + 2 and BC = 5x + 14.

What is the midpoint of line segment?

A midpoint of a line segment is the point on a segment that bisects the segment into two congruent segments. The midpoint of a line segment is the point on a segment that is at the same distance or halfway between the two ending points.

Since, B is the midpoint of AC

AB=BC

8x + 2=5x+14

Subtract 5x on both sides of the equation, that is

8x+2-5x=5x+14-5x

⇒ 3x+2 = 14

Transpose 2 to other side of the equation, we get

3x = 14 - 2

⇒ 3x=12

Transpose 3 to other side of the equation, we get

x=4

So, AB=8x+2

=8×4+2

=32+2=34 units

Therefore, the length of the line segment AB is 34 units.

x-intercept =-2
Y-intercept=6

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=3x+6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Being m the slope and b the y-intercept.

We are given two points for the required line: The x-intercept is -2, thus the point is (-2,0), and the y-intercept b=6 represents the point (0,6).

Since the value of b is 6, we use the first point to find the slope:

[tex]0=m(-2)+6[/tex]

Solving:

m=3

The correct equation of the line is:

NUMBER 4!!!!!!! if m∠JKP= 67°, find m∠NKO

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I have some sympathy for the way the questions have been set up and numbered.

The givens are that the two lines that look like they are perpendicular, are perpendicular.

<JKP = 67                    Given

<PKL = 180 - 67          < PKL is supplementary to <JKP

<PKL = 113

<PKM = 113 - 90 = 23

Here's what you want to know. <NKO = PKM because they are vertically opposite angles.

Therefore NKO = 23 degrees.

JL is perpendicular to MN, then

m ∠NKO= 23°

Given :

JL is perpendicular to MN and the m∠JKP= 67°

we need to find out m∠NKO

we know that JL is perpendicular to MN.  so, <JKN makes an right angle .

m ∠JKN = 90°

PO is a straight line . It makes an angle 180 degree

m ∠JKP +m ∠JKN +m ∠NKO =180

[tex]67+90+m<NKO=180\\m<NKO=180-90-67\\m<NKO=23[/tex]

m ∠NKO= 23°

The total number of calories consumed by Ethan when eating French fries varies directly with the number of French fries that Ethan eats. Ethan eats 16 French fries and consumes 224 calories. How many French fries does Ethan eat if he consumes 406 calories?

Answers

Answer:

29 French fries

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of calories consumed by Ethan when eating French fries varies directly as the number of French fries that Ethan eats

The first step is to calculate the constant k

No of calories= k × no of French fries

k = No of calories/No of French fries

k = 224/16

k = 14

Therefore the number of French fries eaten by Ethan if he consumes 406 calories can be calculated as follows

No of French fries= No of calories/k

= 406/14

= 29

Hence Ethan eats 29 French fries if he consumes 406 calories
