Answer:

BC = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

given that B is between A and C , then

AB + BC = AC ( substitute values )

3x + 4x - 2 = 12

7x - 2 = 12 ( add 2 to both sides )

7x = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 2

Then

BC = 4x - 2 = 4(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question, since point B is between Ac

AC = AB + BC

12 = 3X+4X -2

3X+4X-2 = 12

7X = 12+2

7X = 14

dividing bothsides by 7

7X/7 = 14/7

X = 2

the length BC = 4X-2 = 4(2)-2 = 8-2= 6

length of BC = 6
