Answer 2

If A, B, and C lie on the same line; AB = 2x + 3, BC = 3x - 5, and AC = 38, then what is the value of x?

Given:

AB = 2x + 3,

BC = 3x - 5,

AC = 38

To find:

The value of x

Solution:

IF the given points lie on the same line so it must follow;

the rule which stated as:

AB+BC = AC

• 2x+3+3x-5 = 38
• 5x-2 = 38
• 5x = 40
• x = 40/5
• x = 8

So the value of the x is 8
