The answer for your question is (x,y)=(4,9)
Yes I sure did hang the picture what about it
I think you go to where x=-1 and the y is the answer
The distance from Boston to Baltimore is 360 miles away
Baltimore to New York is 171 miles
New York to Boston is 189 miles
Baltimore to Boston is 171+189
Baltimore to Boston is 360 miles away
The mid segment is half of the base
so
1/2(6x-12) = 2x + 10
3x - 6 = 2x + 10 I distributed the 1/2
-2x -2x subtract 2x from both sides
x -6 = + 10
+6 +6 Add 6 from both sides
x = 16
now we know x is 16 and BE is 2x+10
so I can find it by plugging 16 in
2(16) + 10
32 + 10 = 42 is BE
