let's bear in mind that B is the midpoint and thus it cuts a segment into two equal halves.

$\bf \underset{\leftarrow \qquad \textit{\large 10x-6}\qquad \to }{\boxed{A}\stackrel{4x+2}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}} B\stackrel{\underline{4x+2}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{C}}} \\\\\\ AC=AB+BC\implies 10x-6=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies 10x-6=8x+4 \\\\\\ 2x-6=4\implies 2x=10\implies x=\cfrac{10}{2}\implies x= 5 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ AC=(4x+2)+(4x+2)\implies AC=[4(5)+2]+[4(5)+2] \\\\\\ AC=22+22\implies AC=44$

Since you haven't provided the graph, I'll explain each one and you choose the one suiting your given.
The parent modulus function is:
g(x) = |x|
It is centered at the origin and opens upwards.
A coefficient inside the modulus |x+k| means that the function is shifted along the x-axis
If "k" is positive, the shift will be to the left. If "k" is negative, the shift will be to the right.
A coefficient outside the modulus |x| + h means that the function is shifted along the y-axis
If "h" is positive, the shift will be upwards. If "h" is negative, the shift will be downwards.
Now, let's check each of the options:
g(x) = |x+4| - 2 :
This function is shifted 4 units to the left and 2 units down. It will be centered at (-4,-2). Check the blue graph in the attachment.
g(x) = |x-4| - 2 :
This function is shifted 4 units to the right and 2 units down. It will be centered at (4,-2). Check the black graph in the attachment.
g(x) = |x-2| - 4 :
This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units down. It will be centered at (2,-4). Check the red graph in the attachment.
g(x) = |x-2| + 4 :
This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units up. It will be centered at (2,4). Check the green graph in the attachment.
All 4 graphs are shown in the attached picture.
Hope this helps :)
