Question

a. Is it possible for AB = 10, BC = 2x + 5 and AC = 5x, given that point B is the midpoint?

b. Why or why not?

Answer 1

sure, why not?

Answer 2

what.....

Answer 3

Mind giving a bit more context to your question?

Answer 4

thats the question

Answer 5

Then no one can help you. You should ask your teacher to tell you what she is talking about.

Answer 6

or he.

Answer 7

if B is the mid-point
AB=BC
10=2x+5
can u find x from here ?

Answer 8

lol, my bad. didn't read the question properly.

Answer 9

5=2x ?

Answer 10

therefore x = ?

Answer 11

2 and 5 dont go in together

Answer 12

2x=5
x=5/2
ok?

Answer 13

ohhhhh....

Answer 14

so b will be the midpoint right.

Answer 15

wait, we need to check that.
if B is midpoint.
AC=2AB
5x=2(10)
can u find x from here ?

Answer 16

x=5

Answer 17

sure ?

Answer 18

so now what ?

Answer 19

its x=4 ! check.

Answer 20

what... am confused

Answer 21

5x=2(10)
5x=20
x=4
ok?

Answer 22

now is point the midpoint

Answer 23

since 2 values of x DO NOT MATCH.(4 and 5/2)
B cannot be the mid-point.

Answer 24

did u get that^ ? @lvasquev462
