for line segment ac, point b is between points a and c. points abc are collinear. if ab=x-7, bc=2x-2, and ac=x+13. solve for bc

Respuesta :

Answer:

           BC = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B is between points A and C and points A, B, C are collinear so

AB + BC = AC

x-7 + 2x-2 = x + 13

  3x - 9  =  x + 13

      +9           +9

   3x  =  x + 22

   - x       - x

   2x  =  22

BC = 2x - 2 = 22 - 2 = 20
