Let b be between a and c. if ab = 3x + 5, bc = 5x - 1, ac = 36, solve for x.

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let B be between A and C.

To Find:

x=?

Solution:

B be between A and C as shown in Figure

A-B-C such that

          ...........Line Addition Property

Substituting the given values we get

The value of x is 4.
