Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 12
midsegment is 16 units long
bottom side is 32 units long
===============================================
Work Shown:
The midsegment 2x-8 is parallel to the bottom side 2x+8
The bottom side is twice as long compared to the midsegment (since the midsegment is half the length of the bottom side).
We can say
bottom side = 2*(midsegment)
2x+8 = 2*(2x-8)
2x+8 = 4x-16
2x-4x = -16-8
-2x = -24
x = -24/(-2)
x = 12
--------------------
Extra info:
Now that we know x, we can find the length of those segments
midsegment = 2x-8 = 2*12-8 = 24-8 = 16
bottom side = 2x+8 = 2*12+8 = 24+8 = 32
Note the bottom side (32) is exactly twice as long compared to the midsegment (16). This confirms we have the correct x value.
Answer:
Step 1: 14x − 21 = 1; Step 2: 14x = 22
Explanation:
7(2x−3)=1
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation
7(2x−3)=1
(7)(2x)+(7)(−3)=1(Distribute)
14x+−21=1
14x−21=1
Step 2: Add 21 to both sides
14x−21+21=1+21
14x=22
Step 3: Divide both sides by 14
14x / 14 = 22 / 14
x = 22 / 14: x = 11/7
I believe those are decimals
