Question

Can someone help with this?

Answer 1

So segment AB and BC both represent half of a value, which is given in the problem, which is 32. That means both AB and BC equal 16

Answer 2

Thanks that was a lot of help!

Answer 3

Wait

Answer 4

what???

Answer 5

I'm sorry. I thought we were solving for x. We are just setting up a proportion

Answer 6

Ok this is much easier.

Answer 7

We know that Line AC = 32, So that means segment AB + segment BC equals 32. This is equivalent to thier values given (AC = 2x, BC = 6x+8)

So sub in those quantities:
AB + BC = 32
2x + 6x + 8 = 32
8x +8 = 32 (I combined like terms here of 2x and 8x)

Answer 8

Sorry about that

Answer 9

That is okay! Thanks for the help!

Answer 10

No problem
