Question

1. What is the length of BE?

A. 18
B. 22
C. 54
D. 24
2. Solve for x
A. 3
B. 27
C. 9
D. 13

Answer 1

1. C. 54

2. C. 9

Explanation:

1. BE = BG + GE

This means BE > BG ==> BE > 36

Hence, the answer is C since C=54 is the option that is greater than BG=36.

2.

BE = BG + GE

54 = 36 + (3x - 9) ==> plug in known values

54 = 36 + 3x - 9

54 = 36 - 9 + 3x ==> simplify

54 = 27 + 3x

54 - 27 = 27 - 27 + 3x ==> subtract 27 on both sides to isolate x

27 = 3x

x = 27/3 ==> simplify

x = 9 ==> C

Answer 2

The first part of the answer is C. because BG is 36 and there is one number greater than 36. The next part of the answer is 8 because is you do 54-36 you get 18 plus 9 is 24 divided by 3 is 8.
