Answer:

AB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = 5x – 26

BC = 2x + 1

AC = 43

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB + BC.

We know that BD = BC, BD = 5x-26 and BC = 2x+1. We can set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x - 26 = 2x + 1 Subtract 2x from each side

5x - 26 - 2x = 2x + 1 - 2x

3x-26 = 1 Add 26 to each side

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27 Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x + 1 = 2(9) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB + BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB + 19 Subtract 19 from each side

43 - 19 = AB + 19 - 19

24 = AB

Given two points. we can find the equation of a line passing through the points

The formula to be used is:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_!}=\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_!}$

where

$x_1=3,y_!=-2,x_2=3,y_2=4$ $\frac{4-(-2)}{3-3}=\frac{y-(-2)}{x-3}$

$\frac{6}{0}=\frac{y+2}{x-3}$

The next step is to cross multiply

$6(x-3)=0(y+2)$

$6(x-3)=0$

Divide both sides by 6 and make x the subject
