DE bisects AB at C. If AC = 2x - 1 and AB = 3x + 2, find x.
[tex] \large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}[/tex]
We know that,
- DE bisects AB at C.
- So, AC + CB = AB (C becomes the mid-point of AB).
- We can also see that, AB = BC, so 2AC = AB
Now, find the value of x.
For this, we need to use the equation ⇨ 2AC = AB.
__________
2AC = AB
2 (2x - 1) = 3x + 2
4x - 2 = 3x + 2
4x - 3x = 2 + 2

- The value of x is 4.
