Hello!

The midpoint separates two equal distances,

This means that AB = BC

So lets type of the equation to solve for x:

2x + 7 = 5x -14

Lets add 14 on both sides.

2x + 21 = 5x

Lets subtract 2x on both sides.

21 =3x

Lets divide 3 by both sides

x = 7

AB= 21

2(7) + 7

14 + 7

21

BC = 21

5(7) - 14

35 - 14

21

AC = 42

21 + 21 = 42

I hope this helps, Have a great day!!
