Answer: 20

Explanation:

Since Line l is a segment bisector, we know that AM and MC are equal to each other.

6y-4=2y+12 [subtract both sides by 2y]

4y-4=12 [add both sides by 4]

4y=16 [divide both sides by 4]

y=4

Now that we have y, we plug that into AM.

6(4)-4 [multiply]

24-4 [subtract]

20

Now, we know that AM is 20.
