Algebra.Com's Answer #36596 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If AC=62, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC. \n" ); document.write( "Picture: shows a line with 3 points on it. A, B, and C. Points AB=3x-4 and points BC=3x-4. \n" ); document.write( "AC=AB+BC \n" ); document.write( "62=3X-4+3X-4=6X-8 \n" ); document.write( "6X=70 \n" ); document.write( "X=70/6 = 35/3=11.6666\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When finding x, I got 10.3 since AB and BC both are 3x-4..does that make them congruent...so AB and BC would both equal 26.9?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "NO CONGRUENT OK..SO EACH IS 62/2=31 \n" ); document.write( "SO 3X-4=31 \n" ); document.write( "3X=35 \n" ); document.write( "X=35/3=11.6666 \n" ); document.write( " [ 3(10.3)-4 = 26.9 ] \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
