Set up equation.

mAB + mBC = mAC

x + 4 + 4 = 3x + 2

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Combine like terms: x + 8 = 3x + 2
  2. Isolate x terms: 8 = 2x + 2
  3. Isolate x term: 6 = 2x
  4. Isolate x: 3 = x
  5. Rewrite: x = 3

Step 3: Find AB

  1. Define: mAB = x + 4
  2. Substitute in x: mAB = 3 + 4
  3. Add: mAB = 7
