Hi! for x, you need to do 2x-8 = x+17 and solve, because since b is the midpoint, ab and bc would be congruent.

2x-8 = x+17
1x-8 = 17
1x = 25
x = 25

in order to find ab, you plug in the x into the expression.

ab = 2x-8
ab = 2(25)-8
ab = 42

do the same for bc:

bc = x + 17
bc = 25 + 17
bc = 42

and for ac, combine the two expressions and plug in the value for x.

ac = ab + bc
ac = 2x-8 + x+17
ac = 2(25)-8 + 25+17
ac = 84

i hope this helped! have a good day/night :)

Clark made four of his truck payments late and was fined four late fees. The total change to his savings from late fees was −$56

If the total for four late fees were fifty six dollars, then to find the amount for one, we divide the total by the amount of late fees.

So it'll be 56 / 4 which will equal to 14 dollars.
One late fee is equaled to fourteen dollars.
