Question

Point B lies between the points A and C. If AC=7x+11, AB=2x+29, and CB=4x+3, what is the length of segment CB?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is CB = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = 7x + 11

AB = 2x + 29

CB = 4x + 3 = ?

We know that AB = BC, then

                        2x + 29 = 4x + 3

                        2x - 4x = 3 - 29

                             - 2x = - 26

                                 x = -26 / -2

                                x = 13

Find the value of CB

CB = 4x + 3 = 4(13) + 3 = 52 + 3 = 55

AB = 2x + 29 = 2(13) + 29 = 26 + 29 = 55
