Mathematics

arsen [322]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that MY is the same length as XM according to definition of segment bisector. We can create an equation:

5x + 8 = 9x + 12

Minus 8 on both sides

5x = 9x + 4

-4 = 4x

x = -1

Now substitute both sides of the equation with -1 instead of x

-5 + 8 = -9x + 12

3 = 3

XY = MY + XM

XY = 3 + 3 = 6

Hope this helps :)

Have an awesome day!
