Find the value of x if A, B, and C are collinear points and B is between A and C. AB=5x−1,BC=14,AC=25−x A B = 5 x − 1 , B C = 14 , A C = 25 − x

Question

Help me !!! idk how to do it !!!!

Answer 1

A---- 5x-1 ----B-- 14 ---C

<---------- 25-x ----------->

 

By the segment addition postulate:

 

AB + BC = AC

5x-1 + 14 = 25 - x

 

Solve for x.
