Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB = BC  and AB+BC = AC

AB +AB = AC

2AB = AC

2(2x+12) = 10x-12

4x+24 = 10x-12

collect like terms:

4x-10x = -12-24

-6x = -36

x = -36/-6

x = 6

Get AB:

AB = 2x+12

AB = 2(6)+12

AB = 12+12

AB = 24

Since AB = BC, hence BC = 24

AC = AB+BC

AC = 24+24

AC = 48
