Question

If AB = x + 3, BC = 2x and AC = 4x – 5, then for what value of ‘x’, B lies on AC ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

AB+BC=AC

x+3+2x=4x−5

3x+3=4x−5

x=8.

Answer 2

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

A----(x+3)----B----(2x)----C

AB=x+3, BC=2x and AC=4x-5

Now,

AB+BC=AC

x+3+2x=4x-5

3x+3=4x-5

4x-3x=3+5

x=8.
