find the value of x if a b and c are collinear points and b is between a and c. =X=6, =3X-5,=37

Answer 1

Your question is missing which line segment has which length. I'm assuming it should be as follows (if not, you can use the same equation setup below with the correct line segment lengths):

AB = x + 6

BC = 3x - 5

AC = 37

AC = AB + BC

37 = (x + 6) + (3x - 5) = 4x + 1

4x = 36

x = 36 / 4 = 9
