If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB=BC. It is also BC=AC-AB
AB = x + 6
AC = 5x - 6
BC = (5x - 6) - (x + 6)
We can kinda use distributive property, like this:
BC = 5x - 6 -x - 6
Combine like terms:
BC = 4x - 12
To verify, we can add AB and BC to see if their sum is equal to AC.
(x + 6) + (4x - 12) = 5x - 6
If we are correct, this equation will be true.
x + 6 + 4x - 12 = 5x - 6
Combine like terms:
6 + 5x - 12 = 5x - 6
5x - 6 = 5x - 6
It's correct!
BC = 4x - 12. Final Answer.

Answer:
x = 3
Explanation:
4x = 2x +6
2x = 6
x = 3
Answer:
D) y = 27 · (3)^x
Step-by-step explanation:
Replace x with the x values.
27 · (3)^-2 = 27 · 1/9 = 3
27 · (3)^-1 = 27 · 1/3 = 9
27 · (3)^0 = 27 · 1 = 27
27 · (3)^1 = 27 · 3 = 81
17 · (3)^2 = 27 · 9 = 243
D is your answer.
Hope this helps
In order to find a fraction, We know that a percentage is out of a 100. This means we can now place our fraction as:
38/100
In order to find the actual fraction, we will want to simplify. Lets find our least common factor and work down from there. Since we know that 2 can go into both of them, lets reduce by 2.
This means our fraction will now look like:
19/50
Since 19 is a prime number and cannot be divided by anything but 1 and itself, we know that this is our simplified form.
This means:
19/50 is the fraction equivalent to 38%.
Answer:
8 rabbits
22 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
c = chickens
r = rabbits
heads - c + r = 30
legs - 2c + 4r = 76
We can now use these two equations to create one by isolating the variable (c) in the first equation.
c = 30 - r
2c + 4r = 76
2(30 - r) + 4r = 76
60 - 2r + 4r = 76
2r = 16
r = 8
Now we know that there are 8 rabbits, which means that there has to be 22 chickens in order to have 30 heads.
