Point B is located somewhere between points A and C on segment AC. Use the information to write an equation in terms of x and solve the equation.



`AB\ =\ 3x-16`

`BC\ =\ 4x-8`

`AC\ =\ 60`

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since point B is located between A and C

then

AB + BC = AC

or, 3x-16 + 4x-8 = 60

or, 7x = 60 + 24

or, 7x = 84

x = 12
