Answer:
AC = 2x - 13 Cm
BC = 3x + 4 Cm
AB = 36 Cm
AB = AC + BC
BC = AB - AC
= 36 - (2x - 13)
= 36 - 2x + 13
= 49 - 2x
but, BC = 3x + 4
so equating both the equation we get
3x + 4 = 49 - 2x
3x + 2x = 49 + 4
5x = 53
x = 53/5
x = 10.6
BC = 49- 10.6*2
= 49- 21.2
= 27.8 CM
BC = 31 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
from the diagram
AC + CB = AB ( substitute values )
2x - 13 + 3x + 4 = 36
5x - 9 = 36 ( add 9 to both sides )
5x = 45 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 9
then
BC = 3x + 4 = 3(9) + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31 cm
