Find the length of line segment XY, assuming that M is the midpoint of XY


Find The Length Of Line Segment XY Assuming That M Is The Midpoint Of XY class=

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the midpoint. SO length of XM  equals length of MY

MY = XM

9x + 12 = 5x + 8

Subtract 12 from both sides

9x  = 5x  +8 - 12

9x = 5x  - 4

Subtract 5x from both sides

9x - 5x = -4

      4x = -4

Divide both sides by 4

x = -4/4

x = -1

XY = 5x + 8

     = 5*(-1) + 8

     = -5 + 8

XY = 3

MY = 9x + 12

     = 9*(-1)1 + 12

     = -9 + 12

MY = 3

X Y = 3+3

XY = 6
