Question

Given a line segment that contains the points A,B, & C in order,if AB = 2x + 3, BC = 4x - 11, and AC = 28, find the length of segment AB.

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

AB+BC=AC

2X+3+(4X-11)

6X-8=28

6x= 36

x=6

then ab= 2(6)+3

=15

bc= 4(6)-11

=13

ac=ab+bc

=15+13

=28
