Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

If B is the midpoint of the line A to C then that means A to B and B to C are equal to one another.

Therefore, to find x you would set the 2 line equations equal to each other:

4x + 2 = 3x + 5

Move the terms around. Start by subtracting the 3x from both sides.

4x - 3x + 2 = 5

Then subtract the 2 from both sides.

4x - 3x = 5 - 2

Then combine like terms.

4x - 3x is x. 5 - 2 is 3.

So that leaves you with:

x = 3
