Answer:

BC = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

B is the midpoint of AC

Then AC = AB + BC

AC = 8x - 20 and AB = 3x - 1

Then,

8x - 20 = (3x - 1) + BC

8x - 20 - (3x - 1) = BC

8x - 20 - 3x + 1 = BC

5x - 19 = BC

But AB = BC

5x - 19 = 3x - 1

5x - 3x = - 1 + 19

2x = 18

x = 9

Hence,

Since BC = AB = 3x - 1

3(9) - 1

27 - 1

= 26

VMariaS [17]
The correct question is
<span>Zach keeps his pet chameleon Pinky in a terrarium with the dimensions 8 x 20. There are three inches of sand in the bottom of the terrarium. Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger. The base of the new terrarium is 10 x 24 inches. Zach moved the existing sand to the new terrarium. How deep will the sand be in the new terrarium?
</span>

Step 1
find the volume of sand
volume of sand=8*20*3------------>Volume of sand=480 in³

Volume of sand in the new terrarium=10*24*h
where h------------> is the deep in the new terrarium
remember that the volume of sand is the same
so
10*24*h=480----------> h=480/(10*24)-----------> h=2 in

the answer is 2 in

lorasvet [3.4K]
(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964
