Help please, im unsure

The value of AM = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

As point M is the midpoint of AB, so

Given

AB = 8x - 50

AM = 2x + 9

so substituting AB = 8x - 50 and AM = 2x + 9 in the equation AB = AM + BM

AB = AM + BM

8x - 50 = 2x + 9 + BM

8x - 2x - 50 - 9 = BM

6x - 50 = BM

Thus,

BM = 6x - 59

As

AM = BM

so substituting AM = 2x + 9 and BM = 6x - 59 in the equation AM = BM

2x + 9 = 6x - 59

switch sides

6x - 59 = 2x + 9

subtract 2x from both sides

6x - 2x - 59 = 2x + 9 - 2x

4x - 59 = 9

add 59 to both sides

4x - 59 + 59 = 9 + 59

4x = 68

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 68/4

x = 17

Thus, the value of x = 17

Therefore, the value of AM will be:

AM = 2x + 9 = 2(17) + 9 = 34 + 9 = 43

Hence, the value of AM = 43

Verification:

AM = BM

2x + 9 = 6x - 59

2(17) + 9 = 6(17) - 59

34 + 9 = 102 - 59

43 = 43

and

AB = 8x - 50 = 8(17) - 50 = 86

expression #3 is not equivalent. the others are.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
