In ΔABC, if AB = 10 and BC = 6, AC can NOT be equal to

A. 4
B. 6
C. 8
D. 10

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is A because in the triangle, the two smaller sides added up have to be more than the bigger side, or equal, if it is a right triangle. so 4 is the smallest 4+6=10, so it does not work, but lets see if it is a right triangle

4^2+6^2=16+36=52. it would have to equal 100 to be a right triangle. Use Pythagorean thereon.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
