Question

If LM = 6x, MN = 10x + 4, and LN = 20x - 4, what is X?

Answer 1

The value of x is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question might be missing some information.

We assume that the points L, M and N are situated on a line

and L<M<N

Then M is somewhere mid-way between L and N

So

$LN = LM+MN\\20x-4 = 6x + 10x+4\\20x-4 = 16x+4\\20x-16x-4 = 16x-16x+4\\4x-4 = 4\\4x = 4+4\\4x = 8$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{8}{4}\\x = 2$

Hence,

The value of x is 2
