Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since L is the midpoint

KL = LM

2x-3 = x+7

Subtract x from each side

2x-3-x = x+7-x

x-3 = 7

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 7+3

x = 10

15x+12(10-x)=141<br>make sure to use steps to solve!

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation: First you distribute the 12 to (10-x). That then gives you 15x+120-12x=141. Now you combine like terms. So you do 15x-12x=3x. Your new equation now is 3x+120=141. Subtract 120 from 141 and mark it out. That leaves you with 3x=21. Divide both sides by 3. Your final answer is x=7.

45.6cm to the nearest tenth.

EXPLANATION

The diagonal of the rectangular painting is 62cm.

The height of the painting is 42 cm.

The height of the painting h , the diagonal, and the width of the painting forms a right triangle with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.

From the Pythagoras Theorem,

${w}^{2} + {42}^{2} = {62}^{2}$
