Question

Find the value of x and AC If B is between points A and C
AB = 12
BC = 8x-2
AC = 10x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

AC = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

A___B___C

AC = AB + BC

10x = 12 + ( 8x - 2 )

10x = 12 + 8x - 2

10x - 8x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

AC = 10x = 10 (5) = 50

If you want ( BC )

BC = 8x - 2 = 8(5) - 2 = 40 - 2 = 38
