Answer:

The value of x is equal to 4.4.

[tex]x=4.4[/tex]

Explanation:

Given;

[tex]\begin{gathered} AC=22x-19 \\ AB=4x+31 \\ BC=29 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The length AC is the sum of length AB and BC;

[tex]AC=AB+BC[/tex]

substiuting the given values;

[tex]\begin{gathered} AC=AB+BC \\ 22x-19=4x+31+29 \\ 22x-19=4x+60 \end{gathered}[/tex]

let's add 19 to both sides, and then subtract 4x from both sides;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 22x-19=4x+60 \\ 22x-19+19=4x+60+19 \\ 22x=4x+79 \\ 22x-4x=4x-4x+79 \\ 18x=79 \end{gathered}[/tex]

divide both sides by 18;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{18x}{18}=\frac{79}{18} \\ x=4.388888 \\ x=4.4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The value of x is equal to 4.4.
