Given:

Points B and C lie on the line segment AD, with AB

Required:

We need to find the value of BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B lies between A and C since AB < AC.


We\text{ know that AD=AB+BC+CD.}

Substitute AD=76, CD=24, and AB=BC in the equation.


76=BC+BC+24
76=2BC+24

Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation.


76-24=2BC+24-24
52=2BC

Divide both sides by 2.


(52)/(2)=(2BC)/(2)
26=BC

Final answer:


BC=26

Points B and C lie on line segment AD, with AB-example-1
