Point A is twice as far from point C as point B is from A. If the distance from from point B to point C is 5 inches, how far is point A from point C ?
Call the distance from A to B, x =AB
And A to C is 2x = AC
Then, B to C = AC - AB
And AC - AB = 2x - x = x = 5, therefore, x = 5
Then, AB = x = 5 and AC = 2(5) = 10 ......
15 inches
10* sorry :D
