If AC = 24, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, the correct question is:

If B is between A and C, and AB=3x+1, BC=2x-7, and AC=24, then find the value of x and the value of AB

The line segment addition postulate states that if a point B is placed between a line segment with end points A and C, then the distance between the points can be expressed by the equation:

AB + BC = AC

But AB=3x+1, BC=2x-7, and AC=24, Hence:

3x + 1 + 2x - 7 = 24

3x + 2x + 1 - 7 = 24

5x - 6 = 24

5x = 24 + 6

5x = 30

x = 6

AB = 3x + 1 = 3(6) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19

BC = 2x - 7 = 2(6) - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5

 The answer is an=2⋅ 300^n−1.
