Hello! :)
Let one number be equal to x.
Since the other is 12 more, we can express this as x + 12.
Write an expression showing the sum of these two numbers equal to 40:
x + (x + 12) = 40
Combine like terms:
2x + 12 = 40
Subtract 12 from both sides:
2x = 28
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 14
This is the value of one of the numbers. Since the other number is "x + 12", we can solve for this value:
14 + 12 = 26.
The two numbers are 14 and 26.
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A midsegment in a trapezoid is formed when one connects the midpoints of the two legs (non-parallel sides) in a trapezoid. The midsegment theorem states that the length of the midsegment is equal to the average of the two bases (that is the parallel sides).
One can apply the midsegment theorem here by stating the following;

Simplify,
