Answer:

x = 3

AB = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AM = 8, AB = 5x +1 and M is the midpoint of AB, the AM = MB

AB = 2AM

5x+1 = 2(8)

5x + 1 = 16

x = 16 - 1

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3

Since AB = 5x+1

AB = 5(3) + 1

AB = 15 + 1

AB = 16

Use the following isosceles triangle to find valur of x and the length of ac.

marissa [1.9K]

Given that the triangle is isosceles, we can say that AB = AC. Using the given expressions we can form the following equation.

$\begin{gathered} AB=AC \\ 5x+8=7x-6 \end{gathered}$

Let's solve for x.

$\begin{gathered} 8+6=7x-5x \\ 14=2x \\ x=\frac{14}{2} \\ x=7 \end{gathered}$

Once we have the value of the variable, we can find the length of AC.

$\begin{gathered} AC=7x-6 \\ AC=7(7)-6 \\ AC=49-6 \\ AC=43 \end{gathered}$ <h2>Therefore, the length of AC is 43.</h2>
