Answer:

AB = 15 ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the AB is shown below;

Given that

AX : XB as AB : AC

AX = 5

XB = 4

AC = 6

AB = x

Based on the above information

We can write as

5 : 4 as to x : 6

ratios can be written as fractions

5 ÷ 4 = x ÷ 6

(4)(x) = (5)(6)

4x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 4

x = 15 ÷ 2

Hence, the AB = 15 ÷ 2
