Segment AB was added to segment BC to get segment AC
representing it as an equation,
AC = AB + BC.
Substitute the values in the equation which means you are going to find the value of x.
77 = x + 16 + 4x +11
77 = 5x + 27
(group like terms)
77 - 27 = 5x
50 = 5x
( divide both sides by 5 to make x stand alone)
50/5=5x/5
10 = x
therefore ,x = 10.
To prove that segment AB =26, place x in the statement
AB = x+16
AB=10+16
AB=26/
