Can someone help me please

x = 1

AB = 9

BC = 9

AC = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that B is the midpoint of AC, we can say that

AB = BC

x² + 8x = 4x + 5

subtract (4x+5) from both sides to make the equation equal to 0, enabling us to solve for x

x² + 4x - 5 = 0

Because 5 and -1 add to 4 (the coefficient to x in 4x) and 5 * (-1) = -5 ( the constant), we can factor this out into

(x+5)(x-1) = 0

Therefore, x² + 8x = 4x + 5 can be true at either x=-5. x=1, or both. Plugging these values in the equations to check, starting with x=-5, we get

-5²+8(-5) =4(-5) + 5

-15 = -15

As a line segment cannot have negative length, and  x² + 8x = 4x + 5  is negative when x=-5, x=-5 is not a viable solution

Next, for x=1, we get

1²+8(1) = 4(1) + 5

9=9

Therefore, x=1 is the only solution we have.

We have plugged this in for AB and BC, and 1²+8(1) = 4(1) + 5 = x² + 8x = 4x + 5 =  9 for both AB and BC

Next, AC is simply the sum of the two line segments that make them up, AB and BC, so AC = 9 + 9 = 18

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?
