Question

Urgent!! Can anyone help me with this step-by-step

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives you the value of the midsegment, which is 16. So you need to set up the equation as:

x + 4 = 2 × 16

You're multiplying 16 (the midsegment) by 2, because the it is half of x + 4, and you need to be able to set both parts of the equation equal to each other.

x + 4 = 32

Then, subtract 4 from both sides:

x + 4 = 32

   -4     -4

_________

This gives you the answer of:

x = 28
