Given a line segment that contains the points A, B,& C in order, if AB = x + 12, and Bo2.4, and AC = 26 = ?

x=11.6

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the angle addition postulate, if B lies on AC, than AB+BC=AC.

We can use this to create this equation.

x+12+2.4=26 Where x+12 is the value of AB and 2.4 is BC.

The next step is to combine like terms, so we add 12 to 2.4 to get

x+14.4=26. When trying to find the value of a variable, you must isolate it. To do this for this equation, we must subtract 14.4 from both sides which will give you.

x=11.6

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions or I misunderstood the question, please tell me and I will fix it or explain more.

Have a great day! :)

based on context clues you gave i'm assuming the answer would be c.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
