Question

If BC = 3x, CD = 7x, and BD = 10, what is BC?

Answer 1

BC= 3

Explanation:

Suppose a line BD is 10 and it has a point C somewhere on the line. It is given that BC is 3times and CD is 7 times or algebraically if we take x as a variable then according to the given information

BC+ CD= BD

3x+ 7x= 10

10x= 10

x= 10/10

x= 1

3x would give 3 (1)= 3

Hence the Line BC = 3

and the line CD= 7
