A and C are out because they would get you ether lower or equal to 20, which is equal to AC and your trying to find X in AB which is so posed to be the what equals AC+BC. AB=AC+BC 5x=20+BC 5(8)=20+BC 40=20+BC 40=20+20
AC equals 20. AB will have to equal AC+ CB. If you put in A.4 in AB 5X you will get twenty and that not what you want. You want to get a number that will get you the an answer greater to AC. So 5(8)=40.
