Answer:
Option A: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image of the triangle given, we can see that:
XM = ZM
We are given that:
XM = 2x + 2 and ZM = 4x - 8
Thus;
2x + 2 = 4x - 8
Rearrange to get;
4x - 2x = 8 + 2
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Thus, XM = 2(5) + 2
XM = 12
The mean can be found by adding the two numbers and dividing by 2
let the second number be y
(x + y)/2 = 1/2x + 1
solve for y
multiply each side by 2
x + y = 2(1/2x + 1)
distribute
x + y = x + 2
subtract x on both sides
y = 2
ANSWER: the second number is 2
