Question

B is the midpoint of AC. Given AB = 3x + 8 and BC=5x - 2; find the value of x

Answer 1

X = 5 that is the answer your welcome have a nice day :)

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

Given that B is at the midpoint of AC, then

AB = BC ← substitute values

3x + 8 = 5x - 2 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 2x + 8 = - 2 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 2x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 5
