Answer: D) 10

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming points M and N are midpoints of segments FD and FE respectively. If that's the case, then segment DE is twice as long compared to segment MN. We consider MN to be a midsegment.

So,

DE = 2*(MN)

3x-2 = 2*(x+4)

3x-2 = 2x+8

3x-2x = 8+2

x = 10

densk [106]

Answer:

28-4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Open most inner bracket and simplify

=18-2(x+x-5)

=18-2(2x-5)

Step 2: Expand brackets by multiplying 2 in and simplify

=18-2(2x)-2(-5)

=18-4x+10

=28-4x

Therefore the answer is 28-4x
