AM=3x+3
AB=8x-6
AB=2AM
AM=AB/2
AM=(8x-6)/2
AM=4x-3
3x+3=4x-3
4x-3x=3+3
x=6

AM=3x+3
AM=3(6)+3
AM=18+3
AM=21

The length of AM is 21.

Given that,

  • Point M should be the midpoint of the AB.
  • AM = 3x + 3.
  • AB = 8x - 6.

Now

We can say that

AB  = 2AM

And,

AM = [tex]\frac{AB}{2}[/tex]

AM [tex]=\frac{(8x-6)}{2}[/tex]

= 4x - 3

Now

3x + 3 = 4x - 3

4x - 3x = 3 + 3

x = 6

Finally,

AM = 3x + 3

= 3(6) + 3

= 18 + 3

= 21

Therefore we can conclude that The length of AM is 21.
