Question

A, B, and C are collinear points C is the midpoint of AB AC = 5x - 6 CB = 2x Find AB

Answer 1

Answer:

  AB = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C is the midpoint, ...

  AC = CB

  5x -6 = 2x

  3x = 6 . . . . . . . add 6-2x

  x = 2

Then the length of AB is ...

  AB = 2(CB) = 2(2x) = 4(2)

  AB = 8
