I think 0 represents the ground.
Answer: 1/4x + 1/2x = 12
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation: combine the 1/4x and 1/2x to 3/4x because they are like terms then divide 12 by 3/4 or 0.75 to get 16
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following lengths AB = 64, AM = 4x + 4 and BM= 6x-10, If M lies on the line AB then AM+MB = AB (addition property)
Substituting the given parameters into the addition property above;
AM+MB = AB
4x + 4 + 6x - 10 = 64
combine like terms
4x+6x = 64+10-4
10x = 74-4
10x = 70
Divide both sides by 10
x = 70/10
x = 7
Note that for M to be the midpoint of AB then AM must be equal to BM i.e AM = BM
To get AM ;
Since AM = 4x+4
substitute x = 7 into the function
AM = 4(7)+4
AM = 28+4
AM = 32
Similarly, BM = 6x-10
BM = 6(7)-10
BM = 42-10
BM = 32
<em></em>
<em>Since AM = BM = 32,. then M is the midpoint of AB</em>
