10) In the figure below BD is the perpendicular bisector of AC. Find the value of x.
3(2x-8)
4425
Enter your answer in the box.
x=

Answer 1

Since BD is the perpendicular bisector of AC, then AB = BC, which implies 2x - 8 = 5x - 17.

Solving for x, we have:

3(2x - 8) = 4425

6x - 24 = 4425

6x = 4451

x = 741.83

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we have x = 742.

Therefore, x = 742.
