Question

Points A, B, and C are collinear and B lles between A and C. If AC = 50 ft AB=x+2, and BC=

4x+4
What is BC?

Help plssss

Answer 1

40.8

Explanation:

Since A, B, and C are collinear, we know that the distances between them must add up to the total length of the line. In other words, we can set up the equation:

AB + BC = AC

Substituting the given values, we get:

(x+2) + (4x+4) = 50

Combining like terms, we get:

5x + 6 = 50

Subtracting 6 from both sides gives us:

5x = 44

Dividing both sides by 5 gives us:

x = 8.8

Substituting this value back into the equation for BC, we find that BC = 4(8.8) + 4 = 36.8 + 4 = 40.8. Therefore, the value of BC is 40.8.
