If point C is between points A and B and AB = 41, AC = 5x, BC = 3x – 7,
what is the value of x?
I NEED HELP ASAP

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

We know that point C is in the middle of point A and point B.

That means that when these two equations are added they should be equal to the length of AB which is 41.

5x+3x-7=41

add 7 to both sides

8x=48

divide both sides by 8.

x=6
