Question

Using the segment addition postulate, find the value of x.

AB = 3x + 8
BC = 4x + 6
AC = 28
1) 2
2) 7
3) 28
4) 14

Answer 1

the answer is #1) 2

Explanation:

Answer 2

its 2

Explanation:

According to segment addition prostulate,

AB+BC=AC

or,3x+8+4x+6=28

or, 7x+14=28

or 7x=28-14

or, 7x=14

or,x=14÷7

or,x=2

Therefore, the value of x is 2.
