Question

Use the diagram shown to solve for x fiven that b is the midpoint of ac, ab =4x-3 and bc = x

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

given that b is the midpoint of ac , then

ab = bc ( substitute values )

4x - 3 = x ( subtract x from both sides )

4x - x - 3 = x - x ( simplify )

3x - 3 = 0 ( add 3 to both sides )

3x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3 ( simplify )

3x = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

`(3)/(3)` x =
`(3)/(3)` , then

x = 1
