BC = 4x + 2 AB = 8x + 8 and AC = 22 Find BC

BC = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B, then from B to C, is the same distance as from A to C.

Thus,

AB + BC = AC

AB = 8x + 8

BC = 4x + 2

AC = 22

AB + BC = AC

(8x + 8) + (4x + 2) = 22

Expanding the parenthesis:

8x + 8 + 4x + 2 = 22

8x + 4x + 8 + 2 = 22

12x + 12 = 22

Subtracting 12 from both sides:

12x = 10

Dividing both sides by 12:

x = 10/12 = 1.2

x = 1.2

We're looking for BC. As we know,

BC = 4x + 2

Let's now put in x = 1.2 into this equation:

BC = 4x + 2

BC = 4 * 1.2 + 2

Since 4 * 1.2 is 4.8:

BC = 4.8 + 2

BC = 6.8

BC = 6.8

8

step-by-step explanation:

just put √(2) * √(32) into a calculator. that will make the answer be 8.
