SOLUTION: if AE=8x-3 and EC=6x+7 then AC= ?

Question 605785: if AE=8x-3 and EC=6x+7 then AC= ?

( I am assuming that A, E and C run on a straight line)
We just need to take the sum of the two lengths (If you draw a picture of it, you will be able to see this more clearly).
AE+EC=AC=(8x-3)+(6x+7)=14x+4

Hopefully this helps, if the three points were not on a straight line let me know and I will try to help with the new information:)
