Bc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if b is the midpoint of ac then ab and bc are equal is size

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well B is the MIDpoint so if BC is bigger..... then that means B is not really in the middle

I had done the 5x+7 =13x and I got -8x=7 and that doesn't make sense

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

-8x=7 is correct, now divide both sides by -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you get -8/7
