Question

ACDF is a trapezoid and

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

As shown: A C D F is a trapezoid and BE is a mid-segment.

The mid-segment of the trapezoid is the average of its bases.

BE = 0.5 ( A F + C D)

Given: CD = 18 , BE = 2x + 10   and   A F = 6x - 12

So,

2x + 10 = 0.5 ( 18 + 6x - 12)

Solve for x

2x + 10 = 0.5 (6 + 6x)

2x + 10 = 3 + 3x

10 - 3 = 3x - 2x

∴ x = 7

So, the value of x is 7
