It is true that the line segment AB equals 26

How to prove that line segment AB = 26?

The given parameters are:

AB = x +16

BC = 4x + 11

AC = 77

The two-column proof is as follows:

AC = AB + BC                     Line segment formula

77 = x + 16 + 4x + 11            Substitution property of equation

77 = 5x + 27                        Addition property of equation

5x = 50                               Subtraction property of equation  

x = 10                                    Division property of equation

AB = 10 +16                          Substitution property of equation

AB = 26

Hence, the line segment AB has been proved to equal 26
