Question

I need help please I have to finish this

Answer 1

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that line segment AC= AB + BC

we also know that AB= 3x+8 and BC= 2x-5

by substituting these, we get AC= (3x+8)+(2x-5)

AC is given as being 23, so we know that

23= (3x+8)+(2x-5)

by combining like terms, we get that

5x+3=23

simplify this to get that x=4
