Question

The length of XY is? I can’t figure this one out

Answer 1

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Length of XY is =  3x+1+8x-24 =  3x+8x + 1 -24  =  11x - 23

Length of XY =  11x-23  

x= 5

Length of XY = 11(5)-23 = 32

Thank you

Answer 2

Answer:

$32$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point M is the midpoint of XY since it is a bisector. Thus, XM = MY.

$3x+1=8x-24$

Subtract 1 from both sides:

$3x+1-1=8x-24-1$

$3x=8x-25$

Subtract 8x from both sides:

$3x-8x=8x-25-8x$

$-5x=-25$

Divide both sides by -5:

$\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-25}{-5}$

$x=5$

$XM=3x+1=3(5)+1=15+1=16$

$MY=8x-24=8(5)-24=40-24=16$

$XY=16+16=32$
