Answer 1

@amistre64 @thomaster @whpalmer4 @aaronq help please! i have to learn this by today!

Answer 2

the sum of the parts is equal to the whole ....

Answer 3

AC = AB + BC of course

Answer 4

uh oh how do i do that?

Answer 5

addition

Answer 6

so 3x-8 + 5x+3 ???

Answer 7

correct

Answer 8

ok I got 8x-3

Answer 9

close, what is -8+3?

Answer 10

-5

Answer 11

then lets go with 8x - 5

Answer 12

so that is the answer?

Answer 13

that is what AB is equal to, without knowing anything else, then yes. that is a simplified result.

Answer 14

so AC=8x-5 ?

Answer 15

AC = AB + BC

AB = BC = 8x - 5

therefore

AC = 8x - 5, if we have to solve for x, then we work some algebra to get x all alone

Answer 16

AC = AB + BC

AB + BC = 8x - 5
** edited the typo


therefore

AC = 8x - 5, if we have to solve for x, then we work some algebra to get x all alone
