Question

Find AB if AC = 6x-2 AB= 2x+12 BC =3x

Answer 1

AB = 40 units

Explanation:

Given:

AC = 6 x - 2

AB = 2 x + 12

BC = 3 x

Find:

AB

Computation:

Assume, AC is a straight line

So,

AC = AB + BC

6 x - 2 = 2 x + 12 + 3 x

6 x - 5 x = 14

x = 14

AB = 2 x + 12

AB = 2 (14) + 12

AB = 40 units
