When there is a midpoint in a line segment, the two segments that are then produced have to be equal. So that means that because E is a midpoint of DF, DE=EF.
Set up the equation.
DE=EF
2x+4=3x+1
Then solve for x.
x=3
Then plug it back in the equation to find DE and EF.
DE=2x+4=2(3)+4=10
Because DE=EF then EF is also 10.
DF is made from the addition of DE and EF so DF is twice EF.
DF= 20
DE= 10, EF= 10, DF= 20
Hope this helps.
Answer:
12, 15, 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 1st # = x
Let 2nd # = x+3
Let 3rd # = 2x
Your equation is: x + (x+3) + 2x = 51
Add up all the x: x + x +3 +2x =51
Subtract 3 from both sides: 4x + 3 - 3 = 51 - 3
Divide 4 from both sides: 4x / 4 = 48 / 4
Your 1st number is x = 12
For the 2nd # it is 3 more than x so 12 + 3 = 15
For the 3rd # it is 2 times x so 2(12) = 24
Check your answers by adding up the numbers you solved: 12 + 15 +24 = 51
Does it equal to 51 as stated in the question? Yes, answers check out.
