HELP! PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK! 98 POINTS!!!

In segment AC, the midpoint is B. If segments AC = 5x-9 and AB = 2x, what is the measure of segment AC.

Draw the line clearly labeling all points and adding the given measures. (May be done with the snipping tool or by hand.)

Work and answer. May be typed or handwritten.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: AC = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

AC is the total length

B is the midpoint

AC = 5x - 9

AB = 2x

AC = ?

Process

                      AC is the total length and B is the midpoint, so, AB is half the length of  AC

                    So,       2AB = AC

                                 2(2x) = 5x - 9

Solve for x                4x = 5x - 9

                                 4x - 5x = -9

                                 -1x = -9

                                   x = -9 / -1

                                  x = 9

 Finally

               AC = 5x - 9

               AC = 5(9) -9

                    = 45 - 9

                   = 36
