A. AB=2
B. AB=5
C. AB=11
D. AB=22



Answer :

Answer:  Since B is the midpoint of AC, we can write:

AB + BC = AC

Substitute the given expressions:

AB + (4x + 3) = 10x + 2

Now, we can solve for AB:

AB = 10x + 2 - (4x + 3) AB = 6x - 1

However, we need to find a numerical value for AB. Let's try to find a value that satisfies the given expressions.

Notice that if x = 1, then:

BC = 4x + 3 = 4(1) + 3 = 7 AC = 10x + 2 = 10(1) + 2 = 12

Since B is the midpoint of AC, we can write:

AB = BC = 7

So, the correct answer is:

D. AB = 6 (not exactly, but closest to 6)
