Answer:
6.65cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The similarity statement: EGF ~ LNM
Scale factor: 1/3
5(2x +8) = -8x + 4
Use distributive property:
10x +40 = -8x + 4
Subtract 40 from each side:
10x = -8x -36
Add 8x to each side:
18x = -36
Divide both sides by 18:
x = -36 / 18
x = -2
The number is -2
The answer/midpoint is 1,5.5
