Question

Let B be between a and C use the segment addition postulate to solve for W

AB= 4w-4
BC = 2w-8
AC = 24

A- w=10
B- w=6
C- w=4
D- w=-2

Answer 1

Value of w = 6

Explanation:

Given:

AB= 4w-4

BC = 2w-8

AC = 24

Find:

Value of w

Computation:

AB + BC = AC

4w - 4 + 2w - 8 = 24

6w - 12 = 24

6w = 24 + 12

6w = 36

w = 6

Value of w = 6
