i don't understand how to do this prblem what is ab=x +7,bc=17,ac =2x

Answer 1

Do you see how ab+bc=ac? Then x+7+17=2x. Can you go from here?

Answer 2

I never heard of a subject called John Marshall, other than the Supreme Court justice with that name.

You have written three equations with four unknowns. There is no way to solve for all of them. You can write equations for x in terms of a, b and c. One of them would be
x = ac/2

Answer 3

i meant geometry but im still stuck and i have 3 more questions about this

Answer 4

Erica, did you see my post above? x+7+17=2x,x+24=2x, x=?

Answer 5

I found that this lesson was soaewhmt confusing. Just trying to figure out the longest side, and short sides caused me to get the wrong answers. This is because I would compare it to the previous example we did in class. But after you figure out the long side, short side, and hypotenuse, all you need to do is follow the rule to get the answer for each.
