Given B is between AC, AB=2y+4, BC=3y+3, AC=22

Answer 1

As stated above, Since B is between A and C then AB and BC are two segments on the same line.

Therefore, AB+BC=AC.

AB=2y+4 and BC=3y+3 AC=22

We can substitute these equations in for AB and BC

2y+4+3y+3=22

Combine like terms

5y+7=22

Inverse operation to isolate the variable (-7 on both sides)

5y=15

Divide both sides by 5

y=3

Answer 2

Since B is between A and C,

AB+BC=AC

2y+4+3y+3=22

Solving for y, y=3
