Question

Find the length of AB if AB = x + 10, BC = x + 14, and AC = 32.

Answer 1

AB = 14

Explanation:

AB + BC = AC

x + 10 + x + 14 = 32

2x + 24 = 32

-24 -24

2x = 8

÷2 ÷2

x = 4

AB = x+10 = 4+10 = 14

Answer 2

14

Explanation:

AB + BC = AC

`x + 10 + x +14 = 32 \\ 2x = 8 \\ x = 4 \\ \\`

AB = 4 + 10 = 14
