In driving from town A to town D, you pass through town B and then through town C. It is twice as far as from A to b as from B to C, and 10 miles more from C to D than from B to C. If it is 58 miles from A to D, how far is it from town A to C?

If BC is x, then
2x + x + x+10 = 58
x = 12
AC = AB+BC = 2x+x = 36
