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

What is the length of MN

Dafna1 [17]

Because this is an isosceles triangle, 3x = x + 10. Thus, 2x + 10 and x = 5.

With x=5, MN has the length 5+10, or 15.

Answer:

$c = 2\sqrt{5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 2$

$b = 4$

c = hypotenuse

Required

Find c

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have:

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

Substitute values for a and b

$c^2 = 2^2 + 4^2$

$c^2 = 4 + 16$

$c^2 = 20$

Take square roots of both sides:

$c = \sqrt{20$

Express 20 as 4 * 5

$c = \sqrt{4 * 5$

Split surd

$c = \sqrt{4} * \sqrt{5$

Take square root of 4

$c = 2 * \sqrt{5$

$c = 2\sqrt{5$
