AB + BC = AC
AB = 2(x + 1)
BC = 3x + 1
AC = 4(x + 2)
Substitute and Solve
AB + BC = AC
2(x + 1) + 3x + 1 = 4(x + 2) Remove the brackets on the left
2x + 2 + 3x + 1 = 4(x + 2) Collect the like terms on the left
5x + 3 = 4(x + 2) Remove the brackets on the right.
5x + 3 = 4x + 8 Subtract 4x from both sides.
5x - 4x + 3 = 8
x + 3 = 8 Subtract 3 from both sides
x =8 - 3
x = 5
Answers
AB=2(5 + 1) = 2 * 6 = 12
BC = 3x + 1 = 3*5 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16
AC = 4(5 + 2) = 4*7 = 28

Step-by-step explanation:
If Malcolm has driven 418 miles which is rounded to 420, and he has driven 384 miles which is rounded to 380, he has driven around 800 miles so far. Then you would subtract 800 from 1,273 you would get around 470 miles. That means Malcolm has 470 miles left to drive.
