x=
BC=
Transcribed Image Text:This image depicts a line segment divided into two parts by points A, B, and C placed in a straight line.
- Point A is the starting point on the left.
- Point B is a midpoint between A and C.
- Point C is the endpoint on the right.
The segment between points A and B is labeled as "3X + 4," which represents its length in terms of the variable X.
The segment between points B and C is labeled as "5X - 6," also representing its length in terms of the variable X.
This setup can be used to explore relationships between these segments or solve equations involving the total length of segment AC.
