Answer:
AC = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
AC is the entire line split into two segments; AB and BC
We are given that AB = 8 and BC = 2x + 25 so we can combine these two and set them equal to AC ( = x + 24)
x + 24 = 8 + 2x + 25
Combine like terms and isolate x
x + 24 = 2x + 33
-9 = x
Now plug in -9 for x in the equation for line AC
(-9) + 24 = 15
