Bis the midpoint of ac. if: ab = 9x+1 and bc= 6x+25 find ac

AC = 146

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that B  is the midpoint of AC, then

AB = BC, that is

9x + 1 = 6x + 25 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

3x + 1 = 25 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 8

Hence

AC = AB + BC = 9x + 1 + 6x + 25 = 15x + 26, thus

AC = (15 × 8) + 26 = 120 + 26 = 146

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
