I believe you solved for x, but did not plug it back into 7x-35 to get that segment’s length. The correct answer is 49.

Answer:

M; BM = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical mark between A and M and the vertical mark between M and B show that segments Am and MB are congruent. That makes point M the bisector of segment AB.

The two segments AM and MB are congruent, so their lengths are equal.

4x + 1 = 7x - 35

Subtract 7x from both sides.

-3x + 1 = -35

Subtract 1 from both sides.

-3x = -36

Divide both sides by -3.

x = 12

BM = 7x - 35 = 7(12) - 35 = 84 - 35 = 49

Answer: M; BM = 49

Fill in the missing term in the equation

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify the LHS so it can be equated to the RHS.

$\frac{x}{x^{2} -4x+4} - \frac{x}{x^{2} -3x+2}$

$\frac{x}{(x-2)^{2} } - \frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)}$

$\frac{x(x-1)-x(x-2)}{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

$\frac{x^{2} -x-x^{2}+2x }{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

$\frac{x}{(x-2)^{2}(x-1)}$

Hence, the missing term in the numerator of the answer is <u>x</u>
