Answer: 34

Explanation:

since the line is cut in half the sides equal

therefore

4x-7 = 2x+5

solve for x

4x = 2x + 12

2x = 12

x = 6

plug into either equation as they are both the same

4(6) - 7 = 17

if one half is 17 then the other half is 17

add the halves for the full line segment AT

AT = 17 + 17 = 34
