Question

Can someone help? ( I need it by 10/20)

Answer 1

Answer:  x = 12

=====================================================

Explanation:

C is the midpoint of AB. This means AC is half as long as AB

Put another way, AB is twice as long as AC

AB = 2*AC

AB = 2*( AC )

32 = 2*( x/2 + 10 )  .... substitution

32 = 2*(x/2) + 2*10 ... distribute

32 = x + 20

x+20 = 32

x = 32-20 .... subtract 20 from both sides

x = 12

---------

If x = 12, then

AC = x/2 + 10

AC = 12/2 + 10

AC = 6+10

AC = 16

which is half of AB = 32, so it confirms our answer.
