Given that B is between A, and C, solve for x, AB=8x-14, BC=4x-+1, AC=59

Answer 1

8x-14 + 4x-1 = 59

12x =59+15 = 74

x = 74/12 = 37/6 = 6 1/6

Answer 2

Hello, Gabby.

If B is between A and C then AB + BC = AC;

8x -14 + 4x -1 = 59

12x -15 = 59

please solve that equation for x.

hope that helps
