1. ## Help!!

ok this kind of problem would usually seem easy to me but for some reason i cant get it: If mAB= 4x+1 mBC=3(x-3) mAC=6x+1 then determin each: mAB, mBC, and mAC. If anyone could give me help on this it would be greatly appreciated as it is due tomorow lol. Thank you!

2. Hello, luvjonandmunky!

If $m(AB) \,= \,4x+1,\;m(BC) \,= \,3(x-3),\;m(AC)\,=\,6x+1$
then determine: $m(AB),\;m(BC),\;m(AC).$
Can we assume that we have a triangle
. . and those are the lengths of the three sides?

Is $x$ supposed to be an integer?

Is there some relationship between the three sides?

I'm guessing, based on the looks of the notation that this is a circle. If so, Arc AB + Arc BC = Arc AC so
4x+1+3(x-3)=6x+1
7x-8=6x+1
x-8=1
x=9

So mAB=37, mBC=18 and mAC=55.
