Having point M as midpoint of segment AB, it only shows that the length of AM is equal to the length MB. Hence, AM = MB

AM = MB
2x + 5 = 5x - 22      ⇒ substitute the values
5 + 22 = 5x - 2x      ⇒ combine like terms
27 = 3x                   ⇒ simplify and divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x
x = 9                       ⇒ Answer

Answer:

The answer is x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5=5x-22

-3x=-27

x=9

Hence, the answer is x=9

Answer:

y = ⅔x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that passes through (-3, -7) will have the same slope (m) as the line, 2x - 3y = 24. This is because if two lines that are parallel to each other would have the same slope.

Rewrite 2x - 3y = 24, in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

Thus:

2x - 3y = 24, rewritten would give us y = ⅔x - 8.

The slope of the line, 2x - 3y = 24, is ⅔.

Thus, the slope of the line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, is also ⅔.

To find the equation, substitute a = -3, b = -7, and m = ⅔ into y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y + 7 = ⅔(x + 3)

Rewrite to make the equation in slope-intercept form.

Thus:

y + 7 = ⅔(x + 3)

3(y + 7) = 2(x + 3) ---› multiplication property of equality

3y + 21 = 2x + 6 ----› distributive property

3y = 2x + 6 - 21 ----› subtraction property of equality

3y = 2x - 15

y = ⅔x - 5 (division property of equality)
