Option C:

The value of m is 4.

Solution:

Given data:

AB = 4m – 15

BC = 5m –6

AC = 15

To find the value of m:

Using segment addition postulate,

AB + BC = AC

4m – 15 + 5m –6 = 15

Arrange the like terms together.

4m + 5m – 15 – 6 = 15

9m – 21 = 15

Add 21 on both sides of the equation,

9m = 36

Divide by 9 on both sides of the equation.

m = 4

The value of m is 4.

Option C is the correct answer.
