Question

fill in the blank 1 point a, b, and c are collinear. b is between a and c. 10) find x if ac = 22, ab = x + 22, and bc = x + 20. the value of x is type your answer...

Explanation:

Step1: Sum AB and BC

$(x + 22) + (x + 20) = 2x + 42$

Step2: Set equal to AC

$2x + 42 = 22$

Step3: Solve for x

$2x = -20 \implies x = -10$

Answer:

-10
