Answer:
If B is between A and C, AB = x, BC = 2x + 2, and AC = 14, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC.
Step-by-step explanation:
AB=x
BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2
AC =14AC=14
Required
Determine x, AB and BC.
Since B is between A and C;
AB + BC = ACAB+BC=AC
Substitute x for AB; 2x + 2 for BC and 14 for AC
x + 2x + 2 = 14x+2x+2=14
3x + 2 = 143x+2=14

3x = 14 - 23x=14−2
3x = 123x=12 '
x = \frac{12}{3}x=

x = 4x=4
Substitute 4 for x in
AB = xAB=x
BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2
AB = 4AB=4
BC = 2(4) + 2BC=2(4)+2
BC = 8 + 2BC=8+2
BC = 10BC=10
