Point M is the segment bisector. what is the value of x?
1 answer:
<h3>
Answer: x = 5</h3>
============================================
Explanation:
"Bisect" means to cut in half
M is the midpoint as it cuts segment ST in half
SM and MT are the same length
SM = MT
2x+3 = 4x-7
2x-4x = -7-3
-2x = -10
x = -10/(-2)
x = 5
----------
If x = 5, then
SM = 2x+3 = 2(5)+3 = 10+3 = 13
MT = 4x-7 = 4(5)-7 = 20-7 = 13
Both SM and MT are the same length (13 units). This confirms the answer.

Answer: 79 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+1 + 3x+4 = 180
7x + 5 = 180
7x = 175
x = 175:7 = 25
m8 = 3x + 4 = 3*25 + 4 = 79
