To find AC

AC = AB + BC -------------------(1)

From the question

AB = 8

BC = 10x

AC = 17x + 1

substituting the values into eqn(1)

17x +1 =8 + 10x

collect like term

17x - 10x = 8 -1

7x = 7

divide both-side of the equation by 7

x = 1

But AC = 17x + 1

Hence AC = 17x + 1 = 17(1) + 1 = 17 + 1 = 18

Therefore, AC = 18
