Points A, B, C, D are collinear and in that order. Find the length indicated.
Find BD if AC = 11x + 654, AB = 25,
BD = 4x + 293, and CD = 3x + 224.
===========================================
AC = AB + BC
11x + 654 = 25 + BC
BC = 11x + 629
-----
BD = BC + CD
4x + 93 = 11x + 629 + 3x + 24 = 14x + 653
4x + 93 = 14x + 653
10x = 560
x = 56

Find AC & CD and add them
