The length of the segment on the coordinate line AB is 5 cm.

The length of the segment on the coordinate line AB is 5 cm. Its left end is point A (x), and the right end is point B (2x-3). The length of the unit segment is 1 cm. Find the coordinates of points A and B

In order to find the distance between the points, the left coordinate is subtracted from the value of the right coordinate. If it is known that the distance between points A and B is 5, we get:

2x – 3 – x = 5,

x – 3 = 5,

x = 5 + 3,

x = 8.

Then the coordinate of point B is:

2 * 8 – 3 = 13.

Answer: coordinates of points A (8), B (13).
