If A, B and C are collinear, then:

$AB+BC=AC\\\\AB=x+4,\ BC=2x-10,\ AC=2x+1$

substitute:

$(x+4)+(2x-10)=2x+1\\\\(x+2x)+(4-10)=2x+1\\\\3x-6=2x+1\ \ \ |+6\\\\3x=2x+7\ \ \ \ |-2x\\\\x=7\\\\AB=x+4\to AB=7+4=11\\\\BC=2x-10\to BC=2(7)-10=14-10=4\\\\AC=AB+BC\to AC=11+4=15$

Grace [21]

The answer is 26.33 repeating
How you get that answer is
First do N times 3
so the you have 3n + 5 = 84
minus 5 from both sides and then you get 3n = 79
divid both sides by 3 and then you get n = 26.33 reapting
