you should draw and label on your whiteboards! dont put spaces in your equation.

1. b is between a and c. ab = 33, bc = 2x, ac = 65

equation: = (no space)
x =

Explanation:

Step1: Use segment - addition postulate

Since B is between A and C, we have $AB + BC=AC$.

Step2: Substitute given values

Substitute $AB = 33$, $BC = 2x$, and $AC = 65$ into the equation: $33+2x=65$.

Step3: Solve for x

First, subtract 33 from both sides of the equation: $2x=65 - 33$, so $2x=32$. Then divide both sides by 2: $x=\frac{32}{2}=16$.

Answer:

Equation: $33 + 2x=65$
$x = 16$
