Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A segment joining the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle is
Parallel to the third side
then the 2 angles are same- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is
16x - 33 + 8x - 3 = 180
24x - 36 = 180 ( add 36 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
9a-3(a-6)=-6
9a-3a+18=-6
6a+18=-6
6a=-24
a=-4
The next larger tenth is 5.5 .
The next smaller tenth is 5.4 .
5.42 is closer to 5.4 than to 5.5 .
So 5.4 is the nearest tenth.
