Question

What is the length of BE?14 units0 17 units27 units34 units

Answer 1

We will determine the lengt of segment BE as follows:

Fomr the information given, the following is true:

$3x-24=x+10\Rightarrow3x-x=10+24$$\Rightarrow2x=34\Rightarrow x=17$

Now, we replace the value of x in the expression that represents segment BE:

$BE=3(17)-24\Rightarrow BE=27$

So, the measure of segment BE is 27 units.
