Step-by-step explanation:

-We must first find the value of x in the given equation for AC=4y-48.

-After obtaining the value we must add the value of AD = 18

The exercise is as follows:


\begin{gathered} 4y-48 \\ 4y=48 \\ y=(48)/(4) \\ y=(24)/(2) \\ y=12 \end{gathered}

Now we must replace the value in the equation; is as follows:


\begin{gathered} 4y-48 \\ 4(12)-48 \\ 40-48 \\ -8 \end{gathered}
