Answer:

(b) x = 7, AB = 9, AC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔAEB ~ ΔCDB so corresponding sides are proportional.

AB/CB = AE/CD

(x+2)/(x -4) = 12/4

x +2 = 3(x -4) . . . . . . multiply by x-4

x +2 = 3x -12 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

14 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-x

7 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

AB = x +2 = 7 +2 = 9

BC = x -4 = 7 -4 = 3

AC = AB +BC = 9 +3 = 12

In summary, ...

x = 7, AB = 9, AC = 12 . . . . . matches the 2nd choice

Additional comment

Please note the other choices make no sense.

(a) AB = x +2 = -5 +2 = -3 ≠ -9

(d) segment lengths are never negative in a geometrical figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality to describe problem:

$- 6 < x < 21$

x represents the unknown integer(s).

Integers are positive or negative numbers that don't have a fraction, or a decimal.

Positive integers that work in the inequality:

$- 6 < 1< 21$

$- 6 < 2 < 21$

$- 6 < 3 < 21$

$- 6 < 4 < 21$

$- 6 < 5 < 21$

$- 6 < 6 < 21$

$- 6 < 7 < 21$

$- 6 < 8 < 21$

$- 6 < 9 < 21$

$- 6 < 10< 21$

$- 6 < 11 < 21$

$- 6 < 12 < 21$

$- 6 < 13 < 21$

$- 6 < 14 < 21$

$- 6 < 15 < 21$

$- 6 < 16 < 21$

$- 6 < 17 < 21$

$- 6 < 18 < 21$

$- 6 < 19 < 21$

$- 6 < 20 < 21$

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 work out as positive integers.
