From that diagram that is drawn above, C is the midpoint of the line AB:

AC = 17

AB = 5x - 6

Since C is the midpoint of AB;

AB = 2AC = 2CB:

5x - 6 = 2(17)

5x - 6 = 34

5x = 34 + 6

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8

Line segment AB has a midpoint C.If AC=17 and AB = 5x-6, then find the value of x-example-1
