Question

A, B and C are collinear points. B is between A and C. AB=12 BC=18 AC=3x Find X.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x =10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$AB = 12$

$BC = 18$

$AC = 3x$

Required

Solve for x

Since B is in between both points, then:

$AC = AB + BC$

This gives

$3x = 12 + 18$

$3x = 30$

Divide by 3

$x =10$
