Question

Points A B C D and E are collinear and in that order. Find AC if AE=x+50 and CE=x+32

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Points A B C D and E are collinear.

$\therefore AE = AC + CE\\\therefore AC = AE - CE\\\therefore AC = x + 50 - (x + 32) \\\therefore AC = x + 50 - x - 32 \\\therefore AC = 50 - 32 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore AC = 18}}$
