Question

In the diagram M is the midpoint if the segment. Find the length of XZ

Answer 1

Answer:

3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$XZ=XM+MZ\\XZ=(x+2)+(2x-3)\\XZ=x+2x+2-3\\XZ=3x-1$

so the length of XZ = 3x - 1

Answer 2

Answer:

XZ = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2 = 2x-3

-1x from both sides

2 = x - 3

+3 to both sides

5 = x

(plug in x for XM and MZ equations)

(5 + 2) + ((2×5) - 3)

7 + 7 = 14
