We have the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} AB=AC+CB \\ AC=2x+5 \\ AB=27x \\ CB=5x+15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

replacing:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 27x=2x+5+5x+15 \\ 27x-2x-5x=20 \\ 20x=20 \\ x=\frac{20}{20} \\ x=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} AC=2\cdot1+5=7 \\ AB=27\cdot1=27 \\ CB=5\cdot1+15=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

x = 1

AC = 7

AB = 27

CB = 20
