Explanation:


\overline{CA} + \overline{AT} = \overline{CT}

Since A is the midpoint, then
\overline{CA} = \overline{AT}. Therefore, we can write


2x + 8 = 4x + 2 \Rightarrow x = 3

Using this value for x, we can write


\overline{CT} = \overline{CA} + \overline{AT}


\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= (2x + 8) + (4x + 2)


\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 2(3) + 8 + 4(3) + 2 = 28
