Question

Given B is between A and C, find the value of x if AB = 22, BC = 16x, and AC = 182.

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

the equation for this question would be AB + BC = AC

we can substitute AB with 22, BC with 16x, and AC with 182

then you isolate the variable x and its coefficient by subtracting 22 from both sides to get 16x = 160

then isolate x by dividing 16 from both side to get x = 10
