If AB = 2x-16, BC = 3x -19, and AC = 30, find the values of x, AB, and BC.

Line segments can be split into several subsegments.

The values of x, AB and BC are 13, 10 and 20, respectively.

The given parameters are:

[tex]AB= 2x - 16[/tex]

[tex]BC= 3x - 19[/tex]

[tex]AC = 30[/tex]

The above parameters means that:

[tex]AB + BC = AC[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]2x - 16 + 3x - 19 = 30[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2x + 3x = 30 + 19 + 16[/tex]

[tex]5x = 65[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]x = 13[/tex]

Substitute 13 for x in [tex]AB= 2x - 16[/tex] and [tex]BC= 3x - 19[/tex]

[tex]AB = 2 \times 13 - 16[/tex]

[tex]AB = 26 - 16[/tex]

[tex]AB = 10[/tex]

[tex]BC= 3x - 19[/tex]

[tex]BC= 3 \times 13 - 19[/tex]

[tex]BC= 39 - 19[/tex]

[tex]BC= 20[/tex]

Hence, the values of x, AB and BC are 13, 10 and 20, respectively.
