If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.

Explanation:
For a theorem that says "if A then B", the converse is "if B then A."

The hing.e theorem has numerous parts to the hypothesis. Its converse retains many of those conditions, swapping only the relation between the included angle and the third side.
<u>theorem</u>: if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another, then the longest third side will be opposite the largest included angle.
<u>converse</u>: if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another, then the largest included angle will be opposite the longest third side.
Instead of relating the third side to the angle measure, the converse relates the angle measure to the third side.
