Answer:

6 and -6 are solutions because any negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. The negatives cancel each other out but this only works for multiplication from what I know.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 x 6 = 36

-6 x -6 = 36

================================================

Explanation:

If points F and E are the midpoints of segment VU and segment ST respectively, then segment FE is the midsegment of the trapezoid. The midsegment is parallel to the bases, and the midsegment's length is found by adding up the bases VS and UT, then dividing by 2.

(VS + UT)/2 = FE

(29 + x+17)/2 = 23 ... plug in given info; isolate x

(x+46)/2 = 23

x+46 = 23*2 ... multiply both sides by 2

x+46 = 46

x = 46-46 ... subtract 46 from both sides
