The way you wrote it could have 2 meanings:

Sum of twice a and 4 could be:
2a+4 or 2(a+4) which will give different results.

In the first case:
2a+4
a= 4/2
a= 2
So the sum would be 2*2+4 = 4+4 = 8

In the second case:
2(a+4) = 2a + 2*4 = 2a + 8
a= 8/2
a=4

2(4+4) = 2*8 = 16

The length of the line segment AB equals 3x+1 BC equals 4x-5 AC equals 8x-9

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is what I am picturing (not to scale)

A ----------------B-----------C

We are given the information of AB (which equals 3x + 1), BC (which equals 4x - 5), and AC (which equals 8x - 9).

With reference to the line, AB + BC = AC

So,

3x + 1 + 4x - 5 = 8x - 9

7x - 4 = 8x - 9

5 = x
