Point B is the midpoint of AC. AB=3x and AC=5x+21 . What is the value of AB?

First, let's write down what we know.

AB = 3x

AC = 5x+21

Since B is the midpoint, AB is half the length of AC. The sum of AB + AB is equal to the length of AC.

AB + AB = AC

Let's plug in our values.

3x + 3x = 5x + 21

Simplify the left side.

6x = 5x + 21

Subtract 5x from both sides.

x = 21

Now, let's plug in 21 for x in AB

AB = 3x = 3(21) = 63

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
