Bisect a Segment
Pro Problems > Math > Geometry > SegmentsBisect a Segment
A, B, and C are collinear points, with B between A and C. The point M, which is the segment bisector of segment AC, creates segment BM, which has length 3, and segment MC, which has length 11. What are the possible values of the length of AB?

Collinear Lengths
A, B, C, D, and E are, in order, collinear points. The following lengths are known, in terms of x and y:
AB = x - y
AD = x + 2y - 1
BD = AB + 1
DE = 4y - 4
AE = 2x + y
Find the numerical value of the length of AB.
