D is the midpoint of AC. If AD = 2x + 6 and DC = 4x-7, what is the length of DC?

1 answer:

4 0

A----------D----------C

AD = 2x + 6
DC = 4x - 7

the midpoint D splits AC into 2 equal parts....therefore, AD = DC

2x + 6 = 4x - 7
2x - 4x = -7 - 6
-2x = - 13
x = -13/-2
x = 6.5

DC = 4x - 7......4(6.5) - 7 = 19 <===
AD = 2x + 6.....2(6.5) + 6 = 19

Hi there!

${x}^{2} \times {x}^{5} = x {}^{2 + 5} = {x}^{7}$

We can also write is out entirely.
${x}^{2} = x \times x$
${x}^{5} = x \times x \times x \times x \times x$
${x}^{2} \times {x}^{5} = \\ (x \times x ) \times (x \times x \times x \times x \times x) = \\ x \times x \times x \times x \times x \times x \times x = \\ {x}^{7}$
