Question

Consider the figure shown below where ab is a line segment and m is the midpoint of the line segment ab
Part A: find value of x
Part b: what is the length of segment ab

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint that means Segments AM and BM are equal to each other, so we can set up a formula:

4x-2=2(x+5)

Distribute the 2:

4x-2=2x+5

Isolate the variable:

Add&Subtract:

4x-2x=2x, 5+2=7

2x=7

Divide:

7/2= 3.5

X=3.5

I hope this helps! :D
