Is It Possible For AB = 10, BC = 2x + 5 And AC = 5x, Given That Point B Is The Midpoint? Why Or Why Not?
Is it possible for AB = 10, BC = 2x + 5 and AC = 5x, given that point B is the midpoint? Why or why not?
Please show the work behind it, oh, just to let you know, x is supposed to equal 5.
Thank you!

Looks like we are looking at a line AC where B is the midpoint.
Assuming such is the case, we know that the length of AB = 10, so AC=20 and BC = 10
Assuming, BC=2x+5 is true, we get 2x+5=10, so 2x=5, so x = 2.5
But that means AC=5x=5*2.5=12.5
But this is False since AC =20.
Hence BC=2x+5 is wrong or not possible.

Thanks for the attempt, but I left out one crucial part, I edited it so take a look at the end of it, it says, x is supposed to equal 5. But I don't know how your supposed to answer it if its true or not.
Geometry, is a little confusing!
