Answer:

44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the mid-point of AC

AB=BC

or,4x+14=x+20

or, 4x-x=20-14

or 3x=6

or,x=6/3=2

AC=AB+BC

= 4x+14+x+20

= 4(2) + 14 +2 +20

= 8+14+22

=44 units

Answer:

44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that B is the midpoint of AC, so by definition, AB = BC. Thus, set the two expressions equal and solve for x:

AB = BC

4x + 14 = x + 20

3x = 6

x = 2

Given that x = 2, plug this into the expression for AB and BC and add them to get AC:

AC = AB + BC = 4 * 2 + 14 + 2 + 20 = 44

Hence, AC is 44 units.

Hope this helps!

Selection C is appropriate.

_____
Whenever you solve for something, consider what operations are done to that something. Undo them in reverse order.

Here, "a" is
• multiplied by 2
• has -b^2 added

The last operation is adding -b^2, so we undo that first. We undo it by adding its opposite, b^2.
.. x +b^2 = 2a -b^2 +b^2
.. x +b^2 = 2a . . . . . . . . . . . the point is to cancel the -b^2 term on the right.

The operation before that is multiplying "a" by "2". We undo that by multiplying by the reciprocal of 2, which is 1/2.
.. (1/2)*(x +b^2) = (1/2)*2a
.. (x +b^2)/2 = a . . . . . . . . . the point is to cancel the multiplication by 2 on the right.

You will note this matches answer selection C.
