4.5x + 1.5y = 24 ⇒ 4.5x + 1.5y = 24
1.0x - 1.0y = 4 ⇒<u> 4.5x - 4.5y = 18</u>
<u>6y</u> = <u>6</u>
6 6
y = 1
4.5x + 1.5(1) = 24
4.5x + 1.5 = 24
<u> - 1.5 - 1.5</u>
<u>4.5x</u> = <u>22.5</u>
4.5 4.5
x = 5
(x, y) = (5, 1)
Answer
Find out the value of x.
To prove
Definition of mid- segment
It is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.
It is always parallel to the third side, and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.
As shown in the triangle given below.
As given
DE = 5x and BC = 11x – 15
Thus




15 = 11x - 10x
15 = x
Therefore the value of x is 15 .
