If your segment is [a;b] the length is b-a.

Im confused I mean do I take the 3x+5 and put 3x+5 = 2x+1

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Did they give you the coordinates of points or the distance between them ?

Directrix (directrix):

@rexjones44 Were you given the length of segment BE? We need to use the Segment Addition Postulate from Geometry to do this problem. And, I don't understand why the segment with length (3x + 5) is beneath segment BE.
