Question

Given line ac with line ab=2x-4, bc=4x and ac=2x+12 find ac

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: AC = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

   AB = 2x - 4

   BC = 4x

   AC = 2x + 12

   AC = ?

            AB + BC = AC

        2x - 4 + 4x = 2x + 12

       6x - 4 = 2x + 12

       6x - 2x = 12 + 4

       4x = 16

       x = 16/4

       x = 4

AB = 2(4) - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4

BC = 4(4) = 16

AC = 2(4) + 12 = 8 + 12 = 20

         4 + 16 = 20

         20 = 20
