Answer:
LM = 1.5
LN = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given:
M is the midpoint of LN
LM = 3x
LN= 2x + 2
LM =.?
Next, we shall determine the value of x. This is illustrated below:
Since M is the midpoint of LN, it means that when we divide LN by 2 the result will be LM i.e
LN /2 = LM
With the above formula, we can obtain the value of x as follow:
LN= 2x + 2
LM = 3x
x =..?
LN /2 = LM
2x + 2/ 2 = 3x
Cross multiply
2 × 3x = 2x + 2
6x = 2x + 2
Collect like terms
6x - 2x = 2
4x = 2
Divide both side by 4
x = 2/4
x = 0.5
Finally, we can obtain LM and LN as follow:
LM = 3x
x = 0.5
LM = 3 × 0.5
LM = 1.5
LN= 2x + 2
x = 0.5
LN = 2(0.5) + 2
LN = 1 + 2
LN = 3
Answer:
It ends up being 19 in total
in factor form (2x+1)(4x^2-2x+1)
Its D. -18 hope this helps :D
