We are given that

point C lies on AB

Let's assume AC=x

we know that

CB=AB-AC

[tex]CB=30-x[/tex]

Point C is 1.5 times farther from point A than from point B

so, we get

[tex]\frac{AC}{CB} =1.5[/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex]\frac{x}{30-x} =1.5[/tex]

now, we can solve for x

[tex]x=1.5\left(30-x\right)[/tex]

[tex]x=18[/tex]

so, we get

[tex]AC=18[/tex]

now, we can find CB

[tex]CB=30-18[/tex]

[tex]CB=12[/tex]

so, we get

[tex]AC=18[/tex]

[tex]CB=12[/tex]...............Answer
